Helga offer a communion with nature and the modern world
SEASON OF MIST
EMANATING FROM
THE
forests of Sweden and echoing through the cobblestone lanes of their eponymous founder’s adopted home, York, Helga’s debut unveils a profound lyrical odyssey, masterfully intertwining the rich tapestry of nature, the weight of cultural heritage and the poignant undertones of human connection. As a solo artist, vocalist Helga Gabriel effortlessly navigated the channels of post-rock, folk and dreampop before forming Helga by placing an advertisement that attracted a group of musicians who were childhood friends. Her metamorphosis into the pulsating core of a vibrant ensemble is profoundly evident throughout the album’s narrative arc, shifting from the ageless allure of unspoiled landscapes to the frenetic rhythms of contemporary urban life.
