Periscope View Periscope View London Helena King (lead vocal, lyrics, violin) Simon Hempenstall (guitar, sax, BVs) Ian Mainwaring (keys/synths) Jack Wolvey (drums) Bio: Formed by Helena and Simon who met at a mutual friends party, London based Periscope View got together early in 2014 creating indie rock music, but in May 2014 the line up changed as the bass player left, so Ian took over and re-wrote those parts on the keys, adding another unique element to the music. By June 2014, Periscope View had found their new sound, and have drawn comparisons to artists such as Morcheeba, Portishead, London Grammar, Sneaker Pimps, The XX and Sigur Rós. A couple of months later, Periscope View were spotted by industry podcast Chartburst and featured as one to watch. After a year showcasing their sounds and working hard to create original, interesting and thoughtful songs alongside energetic performances, Summer 2015 brought the much anticipated release of The Grays Grown EP recorded at OneCat Studios, produced and mastered by Del Sajiwandani aka DJ Sonic. The Grays Grown EP gave Periscope View the right attention from LoudUp and Tom Robinson and led to all manner of exciting gigs from festivals, community events and venues. Periscope View recorded their second EP Photographs, with Steve Honest in Hackney, which was released in January 2016. Crossing diverse styles and genres, this new body of work crosses diverse styles and genres, showcasing the bands strong, unapologetic musical identity forged from the unique harmony between organic and processed sounds. The songwriting is the bands strongest to date with production that allows the individual musicians talents to shine.
