Helena Oville

Fid Def, U.K. October 1982

In the early '80s, Helena Oville recorded two reggae records British micro-label Fid Def. One of them is so-so, the other one (this one) is beautiful (physically beautiful too, on translucent blue vinyl). It was added to the Discogs Database over 9 years ago and sold twice. So if you wanna buy this record and miss this copy, you might have to wait until 2030 for another to show up. It has three tracks. "Bongo Love" is the instrumental and the other two are vocals. Oville's light & determined voice is treated with a shimmering reverb and floats over beautiful minimal compositions.


Tabloid journalism does not engage. It shames, it derides, it scorns, it scolds. It’s the clucked tongue put to print. It’s the transcription of knuckles rapped in delight. By refusing to engage in the substance of a story, Gawker‘s revered snarkiness is revealed as nothing more than Sid Hudgens’ pit-bull taste for lasciviousness, but more hipster and less hepcat.
