Description
A fixture in LAs music scene for over a decade, singer and songwriter Samira Winter found a home in the citys DIY rock community, carving out her own niche of gloriously detailed and eclectic dream pop under the name Winter. Her newest record and Winspear debut, Adult Romantix, is a farewell love letter to LA – a tunnel of summers and memories – inspired by Mary Shelleys gothic-romantic literature and 90s rom-coms. Nostalgic and wistful, the album blends swirling guitars, cigarette-glazed vocals and a few notable guest collaborators, like Horse Jumper of Loves Dimitri Giannopoulos and Hannah van Loon of Tanukichan. Influenced by touchstones like Sonic Youths Rather Ripped, Elliott Smiths Either/ Or and 2010s sunkissed California shoegaze, Adult Romantix vacillates between dewy, strummy ecstasy and moody, nighttime desire. Marked by swirling, drive-pedal squalls and open-tuned acoustic guitar, theres a palpable bittersweetness to these raw, lovesick tunes. For fans of Sonic Youth, Spirit Of The Beehive, Beach Fossils, Tanukichan, Horse Jumper Of Love, Elliott Smith, Hatchie, and Wishy.
