A couple years ago, Grouper‘s Liz Harris released one single by her dream-pop band, Helen. The band, also featuring Jed Bindeman (of Eternal Tapestry) and Scott Simmons (and someone named Helen credited with “back up vocals”), have now announced their debut album. The Original Faces is out September 4 via Kranky. Listen to “Motorcycle” above.
The album was recorded over the span of several years in Portland. According to a press release, Helen was “originally started with the intention of being a thrash band,” but obviously that’s not the outcome.
