Liz Harris’ “pop group” Helen unveils another track: listen to “Violet”

Today the band unveils another gorgeous blown-out track from the record, and while not a Hole cover, "Violet" is an exquisitely explosive missive, a dreamy lullaby buried in embers and ash, until the din starts to disintegrate over the last minute or so, leaving only Harris' inimitable ghostly voice in its wake. the original faces is out September 4 on Kranky.
