Our new record is out late November!
Vinter - Vinter II (Tjärnen)
Edition of 266 copies on vinyl
with screenprinted covers and an insert
From the liner notes: "...these new songs weren't found in one place, they didn't just flow from some horn of plenty, they were slowly plucked like flowers along the road-side, dried in the sun and put next to each other in an album that grew in the months that followed that first session, while winter turned into spring, and spring into summer. ... some turned out to be small gems of a song that belie their impromptu origins, others wear their spontaneous creation proudly like a crown of fallen petals. Some are kalimba and banjo back of the woods folk music, others two chord pop songs with pump organ or plucked cello. ... and Martina's sad, gentle, shimmering vocals fill the room from end to end, every little nook and cranny, with a language of vaguely familiar words, whose sense is obscured like something seen through an old broken and dusty window-pane. This new record is another spell-book of the fey and brittle magic that Vinter cast upon the listener..."
***
Our first recording is still available on CD-R.
“…dream-like fairy-tale worlds, airy meadows, beautiful gardens and a winter-shrouded sadness …
low-key, folk-like structures blend with strange sounds to form a patchwork of meditative images coloured by an elusive sense of desolation. The fragmentary compositions are held together by an outstanding vocal performance that brings Carin Wagner, as well as Christina Carter, to mind …
In spite of the relatively dark atmosphere the music is characterized by their impressive sense of space and detail.” (or so says Mats Gustafsson)
You can get it from the Motljud webshop, or by emailing the label, Tjärnen, directly.
