Helioself, the second album by Papas Fritas, was released in the spring of 1997. According to the band's website, "Helioself is the name of the mythical Sun-Ra sessions that were so powerful ... they were sealed away in a lost vault by request of the Ra himself because the world was not ready for such harmonic energy." Ivy covered Helioself's third track, "Say Goodbye," on their 2002 album Guestroom.
All songs written by Papas Fritas (Shivika Asthana, Keith Gendel, and Tony Goddess).
Engineered by Bryan Hanna at the Columnated Ruins (Gloucester, Mass.). Mixed by Paul Q. Kolderie and Sean Slade at Fort Apache (Cambridge, Mass). Mastered by Roger Siebel at SAE (Phoenix, Ariz.). Protection by Michael Hafitz. Direction by Peter Leak for the New York End Ltd. Special thanks to Jim Powers and Anthony Musiala.
