' '
,: A Canadian musician who settled in Montreal to pursue recording :,
: as a singer/songwriter with a distinctly artful approach, Helena :
:' Deland drew the interest of Luminelle Recordings (Fat ':
,: Possum/House Arrest) with her early EPs. Her full-length debut, :,
: Someone New, expands on the intimate, exploratory sounds of her :
:' earlier work, taking the form of a 13-song set with subtly ':
,: shifting sounds and structures. Opener "Someone New" introduces :,
: Deland's gentle, youthful voice and distracted demeanor, at :
:' first over a drone that eventually falls on- and off-pitch. ':
,: Just before the one-minute mark, the song picks up keys, a :,
: rhythmic guitar pattern, and muffled drums to establish a tempo, :
:' while Deland's surrealistic ruminations continue ("If things go ':
,: my way/I'll stay in this room/Where tonight I want to :,
: lay/Kissing someone new/With a familiar face/ I can't replace"). :
:' The song settles into something outright catchy, though the ':
,: occasional unexpected chord progression and details like :,
: disappearing bass keep things off-kilter. Later, the :
:' more-insistent "Dog" incorporates hip-hop beats and distortion, ':
,: while "Comfort, Edge" adopts a sultry, R&B-indebted strategy. :,
: The latter also plays liberally with the edit and mix, including :
:' alternate vocal takes and various understated instrumental ':
,: interjections. More-experimental tracks include the serpentine :,
: "Fruit Pie" and minimalist "Smoking at the Gas Station" ("I need :
:' to get out of the house today/To try my face out on ':
,: strangers"), as well as the strings-and-guitar instrumental "The :,
: Walk Home." The album closes with the hushed "Fill the Rooms" :
:' ("with music"), a track with eerie multi-tracked vocals and ':
,: harp-like arpeggiated guitar. Throughout Someone New, on top of :,
: its hypnotic mix of the strange and familiar, Deland's :
:' vulnerable voice helps make her self-conscious, searching ':
,: commentaries all the more engrossing :,
