Helena Deland announces new album Goodnight Summerland
Helena Deland has announced a new album. On October 13, the Canadian singer/songwriter will release Goodnight Summerland via Chivi Chivi. The first single she’s shared from the album is “Bright Green Vibrant Gray.” Hear it below.
Deland said in a statement, “I wrote ‘Bright Green Vibrant Gray’ shortly after losing my mother. On the scale of our human lives, we might recognize the watershed moments, but there is no telling how deeply or subtly they affect us. Lyrically, the song is interested in contrasts – the immediacy and acuity of a nascent romance in the context of larger forces such as geological time. I was interested in contextualizing an encounter between two people within nature’s humbling and overwhelming scale, which outlasts and ultimately subsumes any smaller and human-scale experiences within it. In discovering another person, there is a heightened awareness, a life-affirming purposefulness. It is akin to creative inspiration; the painter in the video whose work holds such power and immediate force to her ultimately wonders where her work will end up after she’s gone.”
Goodnight Summerland follows 2020’s Someone New.
