Montreal singer/songwriter Helena Deland is back with a new song, “Spring Bug.” She has also announced dates for her first North American headline tour. Chivi Chivi directed the visualizer video for “Spring Bug.” Watch it below, followed by the tour dates.

Deland’s dainty vocals backed by a tenacious guitar are no stranger to concert halls as she’s toured with names such as Weyes Blood, Andy Schauf, Connan Mockasin, Soccer Mommy, and Iggy Pop in the past. Tickets are on sale now.

“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,” Deland says in a press release. “‘Spring Bug’ is the wave of a hand trying to shoo off a noisy flying creature, and the creature is me! Thank you for listening.”

Deland’s previous releases include the recent single “Deceiver” in collaboration with Claire Rousay and the 2022 single “Swimmer.”

Deland released her debut solo album, Someone New, in 2020 on Luminelle. It was #30 on our Top 100 Albums of 2020 list.
