▓██▌ ▄▒▄ ▀ Release Notes ▀▄ ▀▄▐██▌
██▓▀▄ ▀ ▐███
██▓ ▀ ▄ ▀▓██
██▓ Following on from their debut album, the rather fantastic ▓██
██▓ February (released in 2013), the band toured and played ▓██
██▓ sympathetic festivals in the form of Green Man and the Hay ▓██
██▓ Festival. Now they unleash their new album, which builds ▓██
██▓ perfectly upon the promise of that debut. ▓██
██▓ ▓██
██▓ The second track on this album æEmpireæ, (and the first single ▓██
██▓ to be released from it) is a perfect introduction to the Winter ▓██
██▓ Villains sound. Lead by the boy/girl vocals that characterise ▓██
██▓ much of their music, itÆs a song that is deceptively simple on ▓██
██▓ first hearing, and yet ultimately reveals itself to be utterly ▓██
██▓ heartbreaking. Repeated plays reveal the different layers ▓██
██▓ within, like peeling a sonic onion. It is worth the price of ▓██
██▓ admission alone here. ItÆs followed by the equally beautiful ▓██
██▓ æHuntersÆ which is in waltz-time, still something that is ▓██
██▓ comparatively rare in pop music. ▓██
██▓ ▓██
██▓ And yet Prygodzicz and Gibson are also willing to experiment ▓██
██▓ with other sounds. Particularly effective is the ▓██
██▓ ambient-meets-pastoral sound on æWe Lost Our Children To The ▓██
██▓ Depths Of The Forestæ, and the title track. Not for them the ▓██
██▓ idea of stretching one idea over the course of the album. What ▓██
██▓ is so particularly impressive is how it is both a song-based ▓██
██▓ album, and yet it comes together to make a coherent whole. And ▓██
██▓ in these days of cherry-picking songs when downloading or ▓██
██▓ streaming, itÆs utterly important to have albums which make the ▓██
██▓ case for the album as a whole package. Of course it certainly ▓██
██▓ helps when it can be said that there is not a duff track on the ▓██
██▓ album, as each successive play reveals. ▓██
██▓ ▓██
██▓ As with labelmates Trwbador, thereÆs a sense of wonder at the ▓██
██▓ sheer beauty, creativity and originality thatÆs going on here. ▓██
██▓ While for many the notion of æindependentÆ music has been ▓██
██▓ played out, coming to be characterised by simply meaning guitar ▓██
██▓ rock, this is music that thinks outside the box and is all the ▓██
██▓ better for it. It may not appeal to those who like their music ▓██
██▓ to simply be the audio equivalent of meat and two veg, but for ▓██
██▓ those willing to try something a little different, cast an ear ▓██
██▓ this way. ▓██
