Helena Arlock recently released her debut album “Old Dirty Hound” (Red Olive). And she has succeeded in creating a very special mix of styles here, with catchy pop interwoven with jazzy blues, electronica with acoustic. Like if the experimental side of Lykke Li would meet the soft emotional side of Nina Persson.

It’s dreamy, varied and somewhat minimalistic, a really pleasant album which you can listen to more on her Myspace page. You can also visit Helenas Arlock’s site where you can listen, read her blog and more.
