Madator Records has just announced that the ’90s power punkers Helium are reissuing remastered versions of their two albums, releasing a new LP called Ends With And filled with rarities and demos, and are going on tour in June.
One of Helium’s tracks “XXX” has been remastered and the new version will be featured on Ends With And. Watch the new remastered version of the “XXX” video above.
Mary Timony (Ex Hex, Wild Flag, Autoclave), who fronts Helium, said that “compiling Ends With And has been like stumbling upon a long forgotten time capsule and trying to put the pieces in order.” Timony will be performing Helium’s songs for the tour.
Listen to “Hole In the Ground,” an unreleased track off of Ends With And below. It is also available to stream.
On May 19th, all three of Helium’s LPs, including the 1995’s The Dirt Of Luck, 1997’s The Magic City / No Guitar, and the exclusive new LP Ends With And will be available digitally and on vinyl via Matador Records. You can preorder the physical Ends With And, along with other Helium merch, here.
