THIS IS HOW WE DANCE

Description

The critically acclaimed Massachusetts quintet, Winterpills, returns with their first album in nine years. "This Is How We Dance" deepens their catalog of elegant chamber pop that is "haunting... downright glorious when the harmonies kick in, as clear and bright as crystal" (The Washington Post). Accomplished masters of slow burn, Winterpills has nurtured a unique aesthetic over their 20 years together: lush and often grainy instrumentation, poetic and vulnerable lyrics, celestial harmonies, and cinematic arrangements that draw you in stealthily. Emerging from the pandemic pause, Winterpills fully immersed themselves in the creation of the album's 12 songs, in a series of inspired creative sessions held in the band's living rooms and basements. The resulting album is both personal and universal, showcasing the evolution of a band that remains restless and explores new ways to collaborate. Teaming up with producer Dave Chalfant, who played a production role on the band's first two albums, brought the new album full circle. "Like all good things, it's a band that defies easy labeling... a swirl of voices, guitars, and other shimmering delights." (AIMANT)
