Rocking in a Winter Wonderland, or Horrible Title #3428
by Dion on Jan.12, 2010, under Uncategorized
Well, with snow blanketing apparently the entire world, I thought a winter-themed post would be apt.
Wintersleep
I suppose it makes some sense that the Canadians are good at producing some quality wintery bands. 2007’s Welcome to the Night Sky was excellent, and these boys have set May 2010 as a tentative release date for their next album.
Matt Mays & El Torpedo – Wicked Come Winter
Another Canadian East Coaster, Matt Mays does lovely, Neil Young-type rockers and this song is a great introduction to a great artist.
Neil Young - Winterlong
Well, we may as well hear from the original too.
The Twilight Sad – Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters
The Scots also know their way around the dreariness of a dark and cold winter.
Woven Hand – Winter Shaker
Dramatic neofolk from Colorado, a state that also sees its fair share of snow.
Fleet Foxes – White Winter Hymnal
The Foxes are apparently working on a new album. While I didn’t gush over their album like some did, I still like their laid back folk harmonising.
The Fall – Winter (Hostel Maxi)
Knowing Mark E Smith, this song is probably actually about how much he hates a former band member or something.
Leonard Cohen – Winter Lady
It’s nice to see a resurgence of Leonard love, as the ultimate literate crooner deserves it.
Hayden – Winter Trip
Even when he’s not singing directly about it, Hayden’s music in general would be the perfect soundtrack to a winter’s evening, preferably sat by a fire.
Iron & Wine – Faded from the Winter
Well, Sam Beam’s beard should at least keep him warm in the cold. See you next week!
Wintersleep - Drunk on Aluminium
Matt Mays & El Torpedo - Wicked Come Winter
The Twilight Sad - Fourteen Autumns & Fifteen Winters
Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal
