Talie Helene

"No cotton wool whatsoever.
As soon as she starts, your face is up against the wall."

Gordon Taylor, Infectious Unease Radio

"The music is very alternative, but even an
old mainstreamer like me found pieces to enjoy...
my stand out was easily Talie Helene’s own offering,
titled The Black Queen. Hypnotic.
I'm looking forward to the EP's release."

Brenton Tomlinson, HorrorScope
