Virginia Plain is mythical

The key to any great split EP is that both bands share the same kernel of inspiration

A crosseyed new path of Electronics/Double Bass/extremely blitzed vibes

In 2009 the band reformed to play select shows and even recorded a new 7" with Liam Wilson of Dillinger Escape Plan on bass

which doesn’t sound that compelling I guess but the record has a subversive ability to transform itself into a kind of resistance or rejection

HELENE SMITH - I Am Controlled By Your Love LP Farbe:Black Vinyl Virginia Plain is mythicalTeenage melancholy from the original Miami Sound Machine. Backed by the infamous FAMU Marching 100 Band and Frank Williams' crack shot players The Rocketeers, I Am Controlled By Your Love compiles sides from Helene Smith's '60s tenure with the Deep City, Lloyd, Reid, and Blue Star labels. A sweltering album of 12 deeply soulful, alternate universe hits from the First Lady of Miami Soul!
