ABOUT SAMIRA WINTER
Songwriter and performer Samira Winter leads the
project Winter, which first
surfaced a year ago and very quickly earned a special place our musical affections
with an EP and two singles of consistently charming, sunny-melancholy dreampop.
The music incorporates classic girl-group and pop influences and has been given
visual expression in artfully adorable, effusively floral videos. Of Brazilian
background, Samira recently relocated from Boston to Los Angeles where a new
Winter lineup has gained immediate traction, playing at Guerrilla Fest and opening
for Bleached and Minks. Lolipop Records
has issued Winter’s Daydreaming
EP on cassette and will be releasing a debut full-length in early 2014. Bird
Tapes has just come out with 30 Days, a solo effort
documenting Samira’s project this past summer of writing, recording, and
releasing a song per day for 30 days straight.
WTSH posted Winter’s 2013 summer singles “The
View” and “Alligator”,
as well as the videos for “Bedroom
Philosophies” and “Daydreaming”,
both tracks from the Daydreaming EP. Thank you, Samira, for sharing your top
ten favorite albums of 2013 with WTSH!
