I spoke with the legend Liz Harris about the past and present of Grouper, ghosts, nature, going viral, the eternal virtues of DIY and the beautiful new album from her dream-pop band Helen www.theguardian.com/music/2026/o...
theguardian.com‘It’s rational to fear the music industry’: Grouper’s Liz Harris on virality, streaming scammers and her ‘restorative’ dream-pop trioWhen a rarity blew up on TikTok, the solitary ambient artist had fraudsters trying to steal her royalties. It reinforced her DIY mentality – until reforming her band Helen reminded her of the beauty o...
Helen's return from out of nowhere delivers a bouquet of crunchy grooves for Liz-Harris-starved simps (aka me). (https://death.monster/music/helen-lindas-head/)
death.monsterHelen - Linda's HeadI don't really follow music news so the new album from Liz Harris of Grouper fame's old side project band Helen showing up in my Apple Music was a real surprise. Helen's first album was a really underrated piece of janglegaze, very different from most of Harris's output as Grouper at the time. I liked _The Original Faces_ just fine but I can't say I've thought about it much since it came out.
Like the first Helen album, _Linda's Head_ gets into its ideas quickly. This is not a psych album, it does not overstay its welcome with 10 tracks in 31 minutes. Unlike _The Original Faces_ , _Linda's Head_ feels like a great batch of songs that needed to get out, not just a grouping of quality dream pop experiments.
The gorgeous "Starline" feels like a classic lo-fi indie track from the 90s, the loping "darkblue" an outtake from a Slowdive session. Grouper's work tends to be quite dark but some of these songs such as the rattling "Dead shark II" feels like a joyous ode to The Clean.
Helen was not a return I was expecting much from but the band's sense of purpose seems so much stronger than on the original LP, I'm genuinely hoping for some momentum for new work and not another 11 year wait until a new album.
