Hildegard announce their second studio album, Jour 1596
Montreal-based artists and multi-instrumentalists Ouri and Helena Deland – AKA Hildegard – have announced their second studio album, Jour 1596.
Alongside the album announcement, the duo share their first glimpse into the upcoming project with a new single, "Cruel". They describe the single as a “dialogue between lovers or friends, where one seeks stability while the other is drawn towards disruption and change.”
Composed during yearly week-long retreats in the snowy seclusion of rural Québec, the upcoming album represents a significant departure from the spontaneous creation of their debut. While their first album emerged over just eight days, Jour 1596 was meticulously crafted over 1596 days, grappling with the challenges and expectations of following up their first, self-titled effort.
Tracklist:
- Bach in Town
- Player
- Cruel
- Duke
- Remember Me
- Beverly
- Le Jardin la Nuit
- Pour Your Heart Out
- Melody I Heard
- To Love Again
Jour 1596 is set fore release on 18 October via Chivi Chivi, and is available to pre-order now.
