Helena Deland Announces Goodnight Summerland

We’ve heard a few new tunes from Helena Deland recently, hinting that there was a new album coming…and today is the day she announces Goodnight Summerland. This song was penned shortly after Deland lost her mother, and my favorite piece of commentary on the track is that it left the concept that our interactions with others can lead to “life-affirming purposefulness.” Musically, I’ve really appreciate the move into more open musical spaces in comparison to what we got on Someone New; those tunes felt magical in a sense, like an adventure into a well-scored dreamland, but the newer tunes open Helena to this striking intimacy that makes it tough for you to pull yourself away. Looking forward to hearing all of the new LP when it drops on October 13th via Chivi Chivi.
