AWAY FROM THE NOISE
WINTER CONNECTING WITH NATURE... Winter is a dream-pop artist from Brazil currently living in Los Angeles. There’s a makebelieve, fairy tale surrealism to her Technicolour brand of shoegaze, and new album Endless Space (Between You & I) perfectly encapsulates that. Her third record, it's a work that is deeply introspective, turning inward to examine Samira’s esoteric world whilst inviting you in to experience its kaleidoscopic wonder. Like most of us, however, Winter has been stuck at home the last few months, and whilst she has found joy
in both yoga and studying astrology, the lockdown has given her a chance to connect with nature on the hikes she has been going on. She explains: “Every Saturday me and my partner made a pact to go on a hike or go to the beach. Ever since the quarantine began I felt this urge to connect with nature where usually I wouldn't prioritise it in my schedule and now it's actually become a hobby that I've incorporated into my life. When I go on these hikes, usually somewhere in the Angeles Mountains, I find myself feeling a lack of time and space in the best way 63
possible. My mind is clear and nothing else really seems to matter besides focusing on the next step to take. It's the one day of the week where I completely allow myself to let go of any anxieties or pressures of "productivity" and just walk through a new trail, a new challenge, a new place to reflect.” The new album "Endless Space (Between You & I)" is out 24th July via Bar/None Records.
