Semihelix is back with a brand new single “Downstream” (Hen House Studios), a shoegaze anthem that perfectly captures the late summer vibe and invites us all to take a deep breath and let shit go. Band members Geannie Friedman (guitar/vocals), Mikey Cota (bass) and Valdemar Barrera (drums/vocals) bring their signature sound to this anthem about going through the fire and opening ourselves up to a better, more chill way of being.
