HELEN ZACHARIAH'S DEBUT CD OUT NOW ON NDN RECORDS!
"Blow Them Away Into Nothingness" is the criminally overdue debut album of singer and songwriter
Helen Zachariah.
Born and bred just the wrong side of the tracks in Swansea, Wales' second city, Helen has long
been an artist renowned locally for her highly original and challenging songwriting.
In the early 80's, Helen's proto-grrrrrl combo "The Greedy Girls" terrified punk gentlefolk and
so impressed the then-nobody Liam Gallagher, now in Oasis, that he pretended for months to be a
Mute rep before blowing his cover and absconding with a beloved demo, the fate to which may be
explained by certain dubious samples (no, this is not a joke, just the plain truth).
On her debut album, Helen Zachariah delivers a diversity of musical genres with a natural ease,
fully demonstrating her incredible ability to capture any mood, be it melancholic or upbeat, only
to set it free in an astonishing piece of music, always using her voice as the imperative
instrument, ranging from beautiful and affectionate to harsh and critiquing.
Helen's music, deceptively simple, always holds numerous undercurrents filled with complexities
and implicit spiritual powers. It is this indefinable trait that guarantees the quality and the
timelessness of her music, and also makes Helen Zachariah sound so unique.
Passionate, committed and singular in voice and word, Helen Zachariah is an enormous talent
whose confinement thus far to Wales is inexplicable, but now poised to end with the release of
this - and we do not use this word lightly - EXTRAORDINARY debut album.

In addition to her musical vocation, Helen is also a gifted artist and has had her paintings
regularly exhibited at art galleries in London.
The 12 songs on "Blow Them Away Into Nothingness" comprise a challenge to mediocrity and
compromise, and stand as an astringent to the current vogue for cutesy folk chicks. Helen
Zachariah's music is not the stuff of weekend warrior flakedom. Helen Zachariah is the real
thing.
Also available: Helen Zachariah 4-track 7" EP on green vinyl: "Save The Plants" (NDN 20)
