The Winter Letters

Comments 1

Track Description

The Winter Letters were formed by Raj and Alex in February of 2006, a collaboration that quickly produced some pretty melodies and captivating lyrics.After a few shows in North Wales, it became apparant that the sound was lacking depth, and that elements of the acoustic sound were missing.In a classical-inspired idea, a violin, played by Maddie, complimented the soft harmonies of the guitar.Studiously avoiding using a bass guitar and drums, it was important to bring in a piano, played by Luke, as it provided a stronger rhythm to the structure of the songs.What started off as a pair is now a quartet, which creates indie pop riffs with a folk twist, and vocals that leave you humming the chorus before the song has even finished.
