Helena Deland is a Montreal-based musician interested in how songs can hold what eludes everyday language. Her music draws on reading and walking around.
She released her first album, Someone New, in 2020 on Luminelle Recordings. It was followed by the release of Hildegard, a collaborative album with fellow Montreal musician Ouri on section1. "Spring Bug" is her second single released with Montreal label and longtime collaborators Chivi Chivi, following 2022's "Swimmer".
Helena is also announcing her first North American headline tour. She has extensively toured North America and Europe opening for the likes of Weyes Blood, Andy Shauf, Connan Mockasin, Soccer Mommy and Iggy Pop.
A Rothko-esque color field set to music, The Window Is The Dream ventures even deeper into Jana Horn’s inner space than her stark, acclaimed debut Optimism. The New Yorker recently described her music as: "Spectral and strangely soothing" going on to say that "Horn’s work aligns with a fraternity of the lonely that cuts across genres: traces of Young Marble Giants, Syd Barrett, and Broadcast all waft through her songs."
