Hélène Barbier

Montreal, QC

Crafting avant-pop that pairs luminous melodies with jagged fragments and vocals that move between French and English, Hélène Barbier creates songs both singular and arrestingly off-kilter. Her latest album, Panorama, features gooey jangle pop riffs, throaty melodies, and tangled grooves, evoking a dying jukebox spitting out its last perfect songs.
