Winter - Adult Romantix (CD)

Winter's newest record and Winspear debut, Adult Romantix, is a farewell love letter to LA-"a tunnel of summers and memories"-inspired by Mary Shelley's gothic-romantic literature and '90s rom-coms. Leading up to her emotional coast-to-coast move, Samira Winter spent roughly two years writing songs in a transitory state: often in between tours, in different cities and sublets. Nostalgic and wistful, the album blends swirling guitars, cigarette-glazed vocals, and icy breakbeats floating between strummy bliss and melancholic desire. Influenced by touchstones like Sonic Youth's Rather Ripped, the forlorn acoustic rock of Elliott Smith, the slippery electronic-rock of Dean Blunt, and California shoegaze à la Further and Starflyer 59, Adult Romantix vacillates between dewy, strummy ecstasy and moody, nighttime desire.
