Yep.

Well, the connection isn't that strong. She was haning around at the FSOL's studio when they did Accelerator and helped them with some samples. And/Or she sung on Papua New Guinea (I don't knoe this exactli 'caause I wasn't able to track down a copy of either of this releases). FSOL did also use a sample of Riz' old band Shrine on Dead Cities.
