New York/Brooklyn-based lo-fi rock dream pop artist Helenor has released the music video for her new single ‘Tattoo’ released on February 12th from Mtn Laurel Recording Co.!

The director is David DiAngelis.

Helenor is a solo project by visual artist and songwriter David DiAngelis, who gained attention with his debut album released in 2019.

‘Tattoo’ is a song from the new album ‘A public place’ released on April 12th. On the album, he is joined by Vishal Nayak (Nick Hakim, Hannah Cohen) and Josh Bonati (Beach Fossils, Mac Demarco).

“This song is about the first time I gave a tattoo on the kitchen floor of a house party in the South Shore of Massachusetts,” he explains. “An old friend was watching over their dad’s house for the weekend and had some of us over. I was living in Boston at the time and my car was this beautiful, rust covered, baby blue ‘87 Chevy Caprice I inherited from my Papa. We filled the car to escape the city and when we arrived my friend revealed they brought their new tattoo machine. They also thought it would be a good idea for me to give them a large celebrity portrait on their upper thigh regardless of my having no experience. I obliged. It actually came out pretty not terrible.” DiAngelis adds, “I have a photo.”
