Helena Deland emerged from the Montreal indie scene with an artful, low-key style that concentrated as much on texture and timbre as on melody and familiar song structures. Featuring her notably gentle vocal delivery, Deland's first EP, Drawing Room, saw release in 2016. Her Polaris Prize-longlisted debut album, Someone New, arrived in 2020. After a diversion into electronic music as part of the indie duo Hildegard, she took a more ethereal, folk-based approach to her 2023 releases including "Deceiver" (with claire rousay) and her sophomore album, Goodnight Summerland.
