HÆLOS introduced themselves to the world with the video triptych “Earth Not Above”/”Pray”/”Dust” back in October, and now the London trip-hop group have announced Full Circle, their debut full-length. The album’s not out until March 18, but you can get a taste of what to expect with the single “Oracle,” which is below.

Like those previous singles, “Oracle” is a dance song that it’s hard to imagine dancing to; the keening countermelodies and downcast vocal lines pretty much guarantee that these guys won’t be closing out the Gobi Tent when they hit Coachella this April.

In anticipation of that date, HÆLOS will be making a couple of runs through the United States this winter. Those dates are below.
