Winter
https://samirawinter.bandcamp.com/
Winter is a dreamy indie rock band whose sound was conceived in Boston. Beginning as a collaborative effort between Samira Winter and Nolan Eley, their first recordings culminated into the 2012 EP entitled Daydreaming. Following the release, Samira’s relocation to Los Angeles brought on the recruit of additional members Matt Hogan (guitar), Justine Brown (bass), and Garren Orr (drums) to create a band that would manifest her ultimate dreams. The quartet released their first full-length album, Supreme Blue Dream, via Lolipop Records in 2015. The aptly titled album floats on with a youthful sense of nostalgia and romanticized segues into adulthood. Touching on not one, but two languages (English and Portuguese), this bi-lingual group of dreamers do their part to lay us down softly while keeping listeners eager for each tune. Winter aspires to connect others with their inner child by making blissful, beautiful and ethereal pop music.
"Samira Winter is Echo Park's Queen of Dream Pop, Glitter and Guitar Pedals"
- LA WEEKLY
"Her music is basically meant to be listened to in the back of a speeding car headed to the beach..."
- Noisey / Vice
"Indie music almost has this Tuck Everlasting effect where it overflows with nostalgia and keeps listeners
feeling forever young...dream pop band Winter definitely embodies this notion."
- NYLON
"Winter, led by American-Brazilian musician, Samira Winter, is one of the most-acclaimed groups in the current
dream-pop scene."
- Dangerous Minds
"Their pop is so often fairy-tale like and whimsical, with Samira Winter's romantic and hazy soprano acting as
your guide through their daydreams."
- The Grey Estates
