Four-piece Winter Gardens recently unveiled a new single, ‘Search Party,’ teasing an upcoming EP in Uncomfortable/Unlovable. During their time together, the band has opened for the likes of Echo & The Bunnymen, Gary Numan, and Piroshka, making their live presence further known at high-profile UK festivals. Thanks to some of their best work in recent months, the Brighton band has received a flurry of support across radio and press.
‘Search Party’ is a cinematic journey of kaleidoscopic psychedelia. The band brings fuzzy rock intentions, punchy rhythms, and shimmering synths to the soundscape. Adding a vintage tine in their production style helps the track soar. The evolving moodiness in the atmosphere provides excellent foundations for atmospheric vocals, able to rise to the arrangement’s climaxes but still achieve a vulnerable and conflicted sentiment.
The themes of tension and struggle are balanced in lyricism and tone, aligning the track between angelic and haunting, but making it effortlessly arresting.
The band shares a comment on the production, “During recording of the track we were having some trouble with the bass. In the end our producer used a soldering iron on a banana skin to both fix the bass guitar and achieve the desired bass tone for the track.”
