If Winter's music bears any resemblance to the season, it's in the sunny mornings after a big snow—when the white light is blindingly reflective, and childlike excitement abounds as it's officially declared a snow day. It's been just over a year since Winter released their debut LP, Supreme Blue Dream, on Los Angeles DIY-pop label Lolipop Records. The album is highlighted by diverse guitar tones that range from glittery psychedelic-rock, to shoegaze noise-pop, and even to Robert Smith-like goth. Frontwoman Samira Winter switches between singing in English and Portuguese as she simmers on different forms of longing. Her voice has an icy cadence that pairs nicely with the warm backing music, with this disparity perfectly capturing the conflicted nature of desire. CAMERON CROWELL
