Montreal artist Helena Deland reveals plans for new album, Eternity Shrugs

Eternity Shrugs follows Deland’s 2023 album Goodnight Summerland, with new track “Tip of My Tongue” following her previous single, “How Do You Like Me Now”, released in September.

"I'm thinking of a long-awaited, momentous run-in, the kind that has kept a part of the mind alert," Deland says of “Tip Of My Tongue”.

"Maybe you need to privately navigate how up-to-date on the other person's life you've remained since the last time you spoke, or maybe you know a former version of them so well that the present-day one feels entirely, surprisingly familiar. The song was arranged with that feeling of familiarity in mind, like something that has been on the tip of my tongue for a long time."

Eternity Shrugs was recorded in rural Quebec in bursts over four seasons, and produced by Deland with longtime bandmates Francis Ledoux and Alexandre Larin, as well as musicians Lysandre Ménard and Cedric Martel.

Deland recently joined her friend and fellow artist Hana Stretton for a handful of solo North American shows in September, and plans to embark on EU, UK and North American headline dates following the album release next year.
