Winter by Sophie Hur

Praise for Winter: "Winter has been building intricate and enchanting dream-pop...she’s never made something as wistful-sounding as her new album" - The FADER “one of the most exciting artists within the new generation of shoegaze” - Spin "as infectious as it is dreamy" - Stereogum  “Winter’s fusion of dream pop and shoegaze sounds like it’s blooming from the lavish botanical gardens that dot Los Angeles” - i_D "a shimmering shoegaze fantasy worthy of soundtracking the next coming-of-age indie flick" - Boston Globe “emotionally revealing, musically beautiful, and verging on brilliant overall” - AllMusic “Breezy and fluid” - KCRW “achingly gorgeous dream pop” - KEXP “tasteful ’90s nostalgia” - Consequence “a nostalgia-heavy sound that could easily serve as your MySpace profile song” - Paste Magazine “infectiously cool..excellent songs..as the guitar haze lifts, the melodies stay with you" - Brooklyn Vegan “full of smoldering instrumental layers and ecstatic melodic beauty" - Under the Radar "a dreamy confection of fuzzy guitars, otherworldly vocals, and layered walls of sound" - Bust Today, Winter has shared the second single from her highly anticipated new album, Adult Romantix, due out August 22nd via her new label home Winspear. The haunting and captivating “Misery” features Horse Jumper of Love’s Dimitri Giannopoulos, who sings the moving second verse.  “This song was written with my friend Alex Craig. At first, we imagined a fictional story about being in love with someone who was unavailable, leaning into the romanticization of indulging in a kind of sadness. However, during the recording process, the story of Elliott Smith’s love and tragic death came up, which in turn inspired the song title and the rest of the lyrics written by Dimitri.” shares Samira Winter. “The song was originally written at a faster tempo, but we discovered that slowing it down on the tape machine created an interesting androgynous effect on my voice.”  Chronically an emotional coast-to-coast move, she spent roughly two years writing songs in a transitory state: often in between tours, in different cities, and in various sublets. The follow-up to 2022’s landmark What Kind of Blue Are You?, and a goodbye love letter to her time in L.A., Samira Winter describes Adult Romantix as “a tunnel of summers and memories,” inspired by romantic-period texts like Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, as well as ‘90s rom-coms—indulging in heady melodrama and romantic and platonic longing, while also embracing a lighthearted, youthful innocence. The album was recorded and produced with longtime collaborator Joo Joo Ashworth (SASAMI, Corridor, Automatic) and mixed by Henry Stoehr (Slow Pulp).  Like her previous record which featured collaborators and tour mates Hatchie & SASAMI, the new record features Horse Jumper of Love on today’s instant classic "Misery," Tanukichan on “Hide-A-Lullaby” and Alex G's Samuel Acchione on the Grouper-esque "Running.” WATCH “MISERY (FEAT.

The singer-songwriter and guitarist has been a mainstay in Los Angeles’ music scene for over a decade, carving out her own niche of gloriously detailed and eclectic dream pop under the name Winter. After growing up in Curitiba, Brazil and playing in her first bands in Boston, she relocated to Los Angeles in 2013 and fell in love with the city. She found a sense of belonging in its DIY rock community—the basement of her longtime Echo Park home was host to countless shows and even Winter’s first practices—and she grew attached to L.A.’s cosmic, inspiring aura. But at a certain point, Samira was craving a change of scenery to facilitate self-growth, a painful, but necessary realization that brought about a move to New York City. 2022’s What Kind of Blue Are You? was, in her words, “a total reset”—a dark, healing, and intensely personal record that cemented Winter’s unique musical language. As Samira began to confront the end of her decade-plus in L.A., she was overcome by waves of memories and nostalgia, which stirred feelings of pure-hearted reverence for her 20s—catching shows at The Echo, driving through Southern California, and soaking in the blistering sun for so long you start to feel an, existential, impending sense of doom. So, instead of exorcising inner demons, for Adult Romantix, Samira visited the ghosts of heartfelt memories, which had spilled into her present reality.  Following a delicate, jangly intro, the album’s motor kicks into full gear with lead single “Just Like A Flower,” which merges Sarah Records sweetness with an all-out, whammy-heavy, Dinosaur Jr.-esque attack. Released last month alongside a profile with The FADER, the song was praised by Stereogum, Brooklyn Vegan, Alt Press, Paste Magazine, Boston Globe and many more.
