HELVETIA Essential Aliens (2021 US limited edition 14-track LP pressed on Clear Vinyl, released via Joyful Noise Recordings. The prolific and experimental project led by Jason Albertini [formerly of Duster and Built to Spill] delivers alo-fi, genre-defying collection blending psych-rock textures, warped pop sensibilities and home-recorded charm. Housed in a deluxe glossy picture sleeve with matching picture inner, this edition includes the rare '1 of 1000' Joyful Noise labelsticker and circular hype sticker affixed to the front. The sleeve displays a seam split to the top edge and the inner also has a minor seam split from vinyl shift. However, the vinyl itself remains in stunning Near Mint condition, showing little evidence of play JNR372)
