I've been a fan of Winterpills since "Pills for Sara" (circa 2005) so needless to say I was psyched to get some tracks from the new album. I'm glad to say that I was not disappointed. "Handkerchiefs" is classic Winterpills. Dark, melodic, and sparse, Handkercheifs calls to mind cold winter nights filled with the fresh taste of coming snow. From the sampling of the other upcoming track, "Broken Arm", available in streamy goodness on the bands MySpace page , this album is shaping up to be a fine [...]
I took my time making my way to the office today. For good reason though, I was hooked on The Winterpills album The Light Divides , which was released yesterday on Signature Sounds . You'll find a warm mixture of folk and vocal harmonies that immediately reflect the obvious similarities of Elliott Smith and Sam Beam of Iron & Wine . There have been plenty of times I've lauded albums for their winter appeal/sound, and the Winterpills name is reflective of an aural medicine of [...]
My head is full of mush after the weekend of drunken debauchery I participated in, so I'm going to try and level myself out by dumping all this cool music on you... Shows this Week: There's not a lack of anything to do in the city this week, well, not as far as I'm concerned, at least. >> Tuesday, February 27th : One of my most favorite new bands to see when they're in town is playing Smith's Olde Bar . They're Airspace and they're [...]
It usually starts off this way. A group of friends get together to jam, only to find themselves enjoying what they are doing so much, that they form a band. Thank goodness that they did. The forthcoming album The Light...
The Winterpills will release their new album, The Light Divides, tomorrow. The music and vocals on the disc are so beautiful that they nearly disguise the poetically dire lyrics. The band's lovely,... **Click on the link to read the full post, download mp3s, and comment.**

While American pop culture is often trashed as being too focused on the foibles of Britney Spears, Anna Nicole Smith and Paris Hilton seems our friends across the pond have their own trailer park-ish entertainment. Seems like every other day a spat arises between a couple of Brit artists. Even Lilly Allen is getting in on the act with a mini-feud with Lady Sovereign who had claimed Allen only got a break because he father is a well known British comedian. Allen has responded saying her dad has offered to adopt the pint sized rapper to help her [...]
Gotta be upfront with y'all and say that this is not something I was able to find on my own. Once in a while I get sent promos, some are ok some are a little bit less. Most of the time they don't even rate mentioning. Today however with an overcast sky and the last few days of Belle and Sebastian type music ringing in my head I thought it might be worth it to promote a little melancholy pop. Check it out and let me know what you think. [...]
Okay, heute ist es an der Zeit, Euch mal die Band ans Herz zu legen, die ich (neben Klee :-) in den letzten Tagen mit der größten Begeisterung gehört habe - Winterpills . Eine nächtliche Mail von Fanatic Promotion machte mich auf diese Band aus Northampton aufmerksam, und da die Beschreibung ziemlich interessant klang - "Winterpills creates blustery, hibernal tunes that are best enjoyed in the cold" -, hörte ich mir die Songs «Broken arm» und «Handkerchiefs» aus ihrem demnächst erscheinenden zweiten Album «The light divides» an. Und ich jubilierte innerlich! [...]

It's always exciting when South by Southwest announces its schedule and posts songs by many of the bands that will be appearing at the festival. I just spent several--okay, six--pleasant hours making my way through the entire list from Aa to zZz (I skipped +/- because they didn't provide a sample mp3). I admit I didn't listen to every single song. Certain categories didn't really interest me, not yet at least. But I did give ear to everything labelled rock and pop that I didn't [...]
