Homeshake is the project of Toronto musician Connor Hellevand, who started releasing music under that name in 2011 with a self-titled debut album. The sound tends toward dreamy electronic textures with lo-fi indie touches, often built around introspective lyrics and atmospheric production.
Songs like "Call Me Up" and "Midnight Snack" show Hellevand working in a space between bedroom pop and ambient electronics, favoring mood over complexity. He's mentioned being influenced by artists like Brian Eno and Boards of Canada, which comes through in the project's focus on texture and atmosphere.
Hellevand has been open about how his own mental health experiences inform the music's reflective quality. The Homeshake catalog doesn't chase trends so much as it circles certain feelings, loneliness, quiet moments, the small dramas of daily life, with a consistent, understated sound.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
