With a jaunty drum groove and latticework of acoustic arpeggios, Montreal singer-songwriter Helena Deland sweetly evokes the pastoral calm evoked by the title of her latest standalone single, "Spring Bug." With lyrics that suggest solitude and the rapid passing of time, it sets a wistful scene, with Deland enveloping her own voice in comforting, wordless harmonies.
The beautiful twist comes halfway through, with a bloopy synthesizer (or is that an effects-drenched electric guitar?) that enters in the middle of the second verse, adding a hint of iciness to the otherwise warm soundscape.
