Helena Espvall

Helena Espvall is a cellist and multi-instrumentalist recognized for her versatile contributions to the realms of folk, psychedelic, and experimental music. A sonic journeywoman whose musical roots stretch from her native Sweden across various cultures and genres, Espvall is perhaps best known for being a former member of the psychedelic folk band Espers. Her technical proficiency on the cello is complemented by her skilled performances on guitar and her haunting vocal delivery, creating a distinctive sound that resonates with an eclectic audience.

Among her solo and collaborative works, "Helena Espvall & Masaki Batoh" stands out as a significant project, marking her partnership with Japanese musician Masaki Batoh, the founder of the psych-folk group Ghost. Together, they crafted an album that fuses traditional and avant-garde elements, drawing critical acclaim for its ethereal and improvisational qualities. Her more recent works, such as "Liten liten sparv" and "Nimis & Arx," continue to reflect her deep engagement with the textural possibilities of acoustic music and her commitment to exploring the intersections between musical traditions, improvisation, and the inherent narrative qualities of sound.
