Earth Girl Helen Brown (Heidi of The Sandwitches) released new EP ft Ty Segall, John Dwyer & more
Heidi Alexander, who you may know from The Sandwitches or The Fresh & Onlys, has a solo project called Earth Girl Helen Brown, and she’s got a new tape, Mercury, that is out now via Empty Cellar Records. It features a host of talented friends in pseudonym form: The Boogeyman (Emmett Kelly), Sunshine Lady (Sonny Smith), Loro Valiente (Tahlia Harbor), Ziggy Spec (Ty Segall), José Deseo (John Dwyer), L.F.F. (Tim Cohen), Jim Win (James Finch Jr.), the Former Future (Sean Smith), and Jasmine Ivanov (Jamin Barton). If you liked The Sandwitches’ breezy, twangy style, you’re going to like this, and you can stream the whole thing below. We’ve also got the premiere of the video for “Earth Elevator,” directed by Ryan Browne, and you can watch that below as well.
All proceeds from the sale of the cassette and digital version goes to benefit 350.org, NDRC, and Stand-LA, which are committed to “the cessation of fossil fuel use, the protection of shared resources, and the preservation of physical health on Earth.”
Earth Girl Helen Brown has a few live shows lined up, all of which are on the West Coast. All dates are listed below.
