hotelkilo.bsky.social @hotelkilo.bsky.social · 02/10/2026'Linda's Head,' Helen's latest long player, is an absolute stunner. The mandatory dreampop and shoegaze labels fit in so far as lazy points of reference go, while the composition of that sonic wall is a simpler, yet still potent reverb-drenched wave bringing some unexpected surprises to the shore.grouper.bandcamp.comLinda's Head, by Helen10 track album 000
