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.
