the WINTERPILLS

THE BAND: VIA THEIR SITE, winterpills.com, "the Winterpills formed on a bare wood floor during a winter when mutual friends and potential enemies met to nurse wounds, drink, ignore the obvious, play other people's songs, and found they had their own. Through tender, delicate sounds of warmth and chill, they are a band playing you songs of pretty losses and hollow hopefulness. Winterpills will not tame you. Winterpills may hurt you. Do not let Winterpills crumble in your fingers. Do not wash off afterwards.

THE SOUND: The Winterpills sound like a band trying to warm its way out of a frost, which is maybe how they got the name - a pill to warm you out of the winter? I don't know and I will leave that to better minds. The music is the warming of the heart after a breakup or the realization that life will go on. Haunting, delicate, dynamic, room-hushingly beautiful music with aching melodies. Their soft spoken lyrics and chilling sounds will help you find your way out of the winter maze but only onto the next heartbreak.
