Helena Deland shares new single "Spring Bug"

Helena Deland shares the brand new acoustic single “Spring Bug”.

The release follows on from “Deceiver" which was released earlier this month in collaboration with claire rousay via Mexican Summer’s Looking Glass series.

Helena Deland shares the following about the track: "Spring sun and spring rain make past selves sprout out of the ground. The question of whether or not to leave this town becomes the background on which they wreak havoc. But it's like Joan Didion says, ’we are well-advised to keep on nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not. Otherwise they turn up unannounced and surprise us, come hammering on the mind's door at 4am on a bad night and demand to know who deserted them, who betrayed them, who is going to make amends.' "Spring Bug" is the wave of a hand trying to shoo off a noisy flying creature, and the creature is me!”

"Spring Bug" is Deland's second single released with Montreal label and longtime collaborators Chivi Chivi, following 2022's "Swimmer".

She released her first album, Someone New, in 2020 on Luminelle Records. It was followed by the release of Hildegard – a collaborative album with fellow Montreal musician Ouri on section1.

"Spring Bug" is out now.
