I've had Way Their Crept since its release but didn't know what to make it exactly. Now listening to her entire oeuvre on Spotify, I like it in part because I probably prefer her at her most echo-laden and abstract.
Despite liking Dragging a Deer Head, to me the song structures feel a bit less unique. Still, I like that she explores a few different sides to her thing.

it would be so awesome if we could get this thread title changed

it's the little things, sometimes, and i truly feel that if i could convince someone to change the title of the thread, the terrible rating of the world would decrease by at least 1

Meantime, there's a new mix from her up at FACT

hmmm, looks like it's also a 7" and it should be out very soon. i'd keep checking https://sites.google.com/site/yellowelectric/ and http://www.exiledrecords.com/
― Z S, Friday, 13 September 2013 18:32 (eleven years ago) link
can't wait to listen to it! HELEN
yeah i am all over yellowelectric, i guess i was just waiting to see if there was anything concrete. i know people get bummed out by her records becoming unavailable, cyclically, sometimes, but she is reliably great w/production & distribution i think. psyched for HELEN.

i promise!
and if there is only one left, then whoever gets it has to agree to very carefully slice the 7 inch in half so that we each get a song/side. i'm sure it's very easy to do!

YES, this is GOOD! want full album now, want want want.
very different from her other stuff - people interested in her earlier stuff or in fuzz rock in general would do good to check it out
― Z S, Friday, 13 September 2013 23:03 (eleven years ago) link
like her dead moon cover but louder & with someone playing drums over it
― @twitizensforlemonlipbalm (schlump), Friday, 13 September 2013 23:10 (eleven years ago) link
wait, she has a dead moon cover?!
this is the best day
― Z S, Friday, 13 September 2013 23:13 (eleven years ago) link
i'll have to check it out. but yeah, helen (so far) sounds sorta in the vein of bands like belong (a high compliment imo) - i could see them doing something pretty amazing given the space of a full length
― Z S, Friday, 13 September 2013 23:16 (eleven years ago) link
ha I kinda wrote that dreaming that I could be breaking it to you; yeah, a kinda echoed-out DEMONA on a split seven inch inside YETI magazine a few issues back, probably still gettable online at yetipublishing.com. it's really good.
― @twitizensforlemonlipbalm (schlump), Friday, 13 September 2013 23:16 (eleven years ago) link
I forget where but I remember reading Liz talk about her affection for that Stephen lp on flying nun, & it feels kinda not a million miles away from her playing with those kinda skewed pop structures
― @twitizensforlemonlipbalm (schlump), Friday, 13 September 2013 23:18 (eleven years ago) link
so this is really great, huh. it is funny, she played here, a few months ago, & i have seen her on & off for awhile now, & before, when the last two records came out, but i remember this time her finishing with moon is sharp & this long kinda burnt-out coda of her just running the chord progression of it into the ground, like some kind of disastrously malfunctioning engine, & at the same time as it was as kind of mellow & not-hard-edged as any of her stuff, it was simultaneously so heavy & vicious. we left & got to have that discussion where someone is like it's actually really punk & somebody else agrees, cause it really was. & it's funny hearing this now - the grouper dna, that she's slowly stretching these lines out over the fast guitars - but it feels of a piece with where she was at, kinda.
also i feel like underratedaerosmith would vibe with this.

Just spotted that Time Lag are selling their last copy on Discogs for $25.
The copy they sold me two days ago was $12.

60 bucks on discogs now. ugh. really wanted this

gross
i remember when a i a came out, boomkat making them £20 each; this isn't even necessarily an example of the most explosive upselling or anything but at the same time it's such a bummer considering that her records seem to be produced according to this awkward but idealistic ecosystem in which they're small-run but reliably re-pressed affordable lps
― schlump, Thursday, 26 September 2013 16:01 (ten years ago) link
Just in at Volcanic Tongue, have tried to order. They said it was on on their Instagram 4 hours ago so am hopefulish. £10.99 for a 7" but fuck it.

Really liking the Raum record - Liz Harris with Jefre Cantu-Ledesma who used to be in Tarantel and who also runs the Root Strata label iirc
― but my heart is full of woah (NickB), Tuesday, 19 November 2013 13:49 (ten years ago) link
That sounds cool, have seen people here and there saying that the record is good but didn't know who was behind it. May try to track that down.
― grandavis, Tuesday, 19 November 2013 14:18 (ten years ago) link
It's on Spotify if that helps?http://open.spotify.com/album/0u9EF2bbsELJvn9ibBzUm7
Also I obviously meant Tarentel not Tarantel
