What Kind Of Blue Are You ?

Description

What Kind of Blue Are You?, the second album by Winter on Bar/None Records, is an emotional excavation of Samira Winter's purest personality. It is another stunning work in a canon that has established her as one of the most enduring and remarkable dream-pop artists in Los Angeles, with the melancholy and bittersweet beauty that has accompanied her from the beginning now taking center stage. Musically, the 10 songs on the album reconnect with Winter's first incarnation, reemerging in the modern era as a fully realized 1991 singer. While the 2020 album Endless Space (Between You and I) was imbued with fairy-tale surrealism and springtime grace, her new record is crystalline and bold, the songs stripped down and saturated to their core, the smoky shadow of Winter. The album sees Samira Winter return to the catchy shoegaze of her early recordings. A darker and more weary perspective of the world informs the honest and emotionally vulnerable lyrics. Sonically, What Kind of Blue Are You? is Winter's greatest achievement to date. Produced by Joo Joo Ashworth (Sasami, Automatic, Dummy) and featuring contributions from Sasami and Hatchie.
