Snowblink is an indie pop band based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[1] Snowblink is now a duo of Daniela Gesundheit and Dan Goldman. An earlier version of the band began in Sherman Oaks, California, Gesundheit's hometown, before she moved to Toronto in 2008.[1]

Described by the CBC as "one of the most compelling new voices on the Canadian scene", the band has opened for Feist, Jeff Tweedy, Owen Pallett, Timber Timbre, Ohbijou, Great Lake Swimmers and The Hidden Cameras.

The duo 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.[2] 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.[3]

In 2016, Snowblink released Returning Current,[4] drawing from Gesundheit's "fascination with the ocean and her background in cantorial and Indian religious music",[5] and collaborating with Feist on the track 'How Now'.[6]
