Snowblink is an indie pop band based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[1] Snowblink is now a duo of singer/songwriter Daniela Gesundheit and multi-instrumentalist Dan Goldman.[2] The band has opened for Feist, Jeff Tweedy, Owen Pallett, Timber Timbre, Ohbijou, Great Lake Swimmers, and The Hidden Cameras.

History

[edit]

An earlier version of Snowblink began in Sherman Oaks, California, Gesundheit's hometown, before she moved to Toronto in 2008.[1]

Gesundheit and Goldman released three albums independently before signing to Out of This Spark in Canada and Fire Records internationally in 2010; the two labels jointly reissued the band's 2008 album Long Live in 2011. The album Inner Classics followed in 2012 on Arts & Crafts.[1]

Gesundheit also participated in the 2011 documentary film series National Parks Project, visiting Cape Breton Highlands National Park with Tony Dekker, Old Man Luedecke, and filmmaker Keith Behrman.[3] In 2013, the band collaborated with The Hidden Cameras on a cover of Duran Duran's "The Chauffeur" for the compilation album Arts & Crafts: X.[4]

In 2016, Snowblink released Returning Current,[5][6] drawing from Gesundheit's interest in the ocean and her familiarity with cantorial and Indian religious music.[7] The band collaborated with Feist on the track "How Now".[8] The album features drumming by Phil Melanson and production by Robbie Lackritz, and reviews were generally positive.[9][10]

In 2018, Snowblink contributed the song "Outdoor Hotel" to the compilation album The Al Purdy Songbook.[11]
