Editor's review
"Winter music" is an ambitiously abstract theme on which to build your music. How does a guitar sound cold, exactly? We're not sure, but these sure do. Winterpills adds to the oeuvre d'hiver with "The Light Divides," a set of dense and glowing alt-folk.
Biography
Following the massive success of its home-recorded 2005 debut, Winterpills decided to settle into a studio to record the follow up. The resulting release, The Light Divides, improves upon the shimmering, nostalgic mood of the debut, taking the band's subtle and delicate pop to new sonic territory. As its name implies, Winterpills creates blustery, hibernal tunes that are best enjoyed in the cold: they will alternatively give you the chills and warm your soul. Winterpills stumbled upon some sort of method to create musical deja vu -- you already know these tunes, but are simultaneously aware that you have never heard them before. Eerie familiarities lead to new discoveries with every successive listen. Ethereal strains creep in and out of stereo sound. The Light Divides is sure to haunt your thoughts, and your media player.
