Helen is a blown-out dream-pop band fronted by Liz Harris, aka Grouper. (The mysterious Helen herself is credited as a backup vocalist.) After releasing just one 7″ single in 2013, Helen are back, with a debut full-length to come this fall. Caitlin wonderfully described The Original Faces’ first track “Motorcycle” as a “fairy in a mosh pit,” and new song “Violet” continues to play with that sweet/sour dichotomy. After a few seconds of bass noodling, it suddenly erupts into beautiful noise, with dreamy vocal melodies circling each other in the sky — it sounds like Helen are playing to the clouds themselves, accompanied by a jet engine on guitar. When the song fades out at the end, presumably it’s just because they broke through the atmosphere and there’s no sound in space. Listen below.
