  • Bio

    The Winter Hill Transmission began life as a solo project, a handful of acoustic demos written and recorded in a Tyneside flat by Ben Holland in January 2010 whilst it was snowy outside. They are generally about transmissions, folded metro maps and the long distance romantic. The current line up features five members, with long term colloaborator Andy Lofthouse on keys along with Pete Moffat on guitar, Neil Reynolds on bass and Christopher Hall on drums.

  • Sounds Like

    "The Winter Hill Transmission bring a more stripped back, acoustic, indie folk sound to the table akin to Bon Iver, Fleet Foxes and Grizzly Bear. The warm, dreamy sound gives a sense of escapism and the drums and keys are used to great effect to create a slow burning intensity as the luscious melodies glide over the perfect arrangements." BBC 6 Music
