Winter People

Overview

Kiss winter goodbye with the sweet lush tones of Winter People. Let the gentle acoustics lull and coo-coo you, the a cappella melodies make your heart swoon and the bopping of violin bows hypnotise your consciousness.

This Saturday October 13^th at the Factory Theatre Winter People are celebrating the release of their debut album A Year At Sea with a national album tour. The six-piece band, with a total of two violin players and five vocalists, is led by singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and visual artist, Dylan Baskind, and since their beloved singles “Gallons” and “Wishingbone” received high circulation on the Js for a while back in 2010/11, Winter People have blossomed further.

A Year At Sea been reared by some notoriously talented godparents; recorded by Tim Whitten (Augie March, The Go-Betweens), produced by Brooklyn extraordinaire Peter Katis (Interpol, The National, Frightened Rabbit) and mixed by Rich Costey (The Shins, Foster the People, Bloc Party). The result: A child prodigy that performs the gymnastics of Fleet Foxes, the algorithms of Radiohead, the oratory skills of Bon Iver and the lyricism of Jeff Buckley.

Winter People will thaw your soul as if you truly have spent a lonely Year At Sea.
