Starting with their self-titled debut in 2005, Winterpills have built a vibrant career with their exquisite chamber-pop songs that The Washington Post called “densely packed but hugely evocative, tiny bombs of feeling and meaning… fiendishly melodic”, attracting fans from their native New England to the Netherlands and beyond.
They may be one of the most exciting bands to emerge from Northampton, Massachusetts in recent years. They play haunting, delicate, dynamic, room-hushingly beautiful music with shimmering melodies and aching lyrics. Fronted by singers Philip Price and Flora Reed, they harmonize closely, often and gorgeously.
They have released four records to critical acclaim and have grown into “a band that is only becoming more essential” (The Hartford Courant). Their fifth release, 'All My Lovely Goners', is due on February 14, 2012. The New York Times wrote this about their last release, the 2010 EP 'Tuxedo of Ashes':, “Around Mr. Price’s gentle voice and the picking of his guitar or banjo, Winterpills gradually builds elegant arrangements steeped in 1960s folk-pop and rootsy rock, hinting at Simon and Garfunkel and Fairport Convention. While the gathered instruments offer some solace, the songs stay haunted.”
In addition to touring, Winterpills’ music has been used in numerous television shows including the hit ABC show Grey’s Anatomy and the U.K. series Skins. They have shared the stage with such notable and diverse artists as Vampire Weekend, CAKE, Grant-Lee Phillips, St. Vincent, Lisa Germano, Juana Molina, Crowded House, Fountains of Wayne, Martha Wainwright, Sarah Lee Guthrie & Johnny Irion, and The Mountain Goats.
Congratulations on a successful drive! Kickstarter was a great way for me to discover your hauntingly beautiful indie music. I can't wait to get my own copies and all the associated swag!
Sorry it took us until the last hour to get on-board... can't wait for the CD on Tuesday, and the vinyl whenever it's ready!

Adrian: best of luck on your journeys, we will all be here when you return! hope this year is a great one for you.
I am keeping fingers crossed and anxiously awaiting the album. If all goes well I will have a beautiful peice of vinyl awaiting me when I return from Afghanistan, something amazinlgy beautiful to listen to and just escape to put this last year away from my family behind me. You're music is tranquil and healing. Thanks!!!
Vinyltastik Winterpills!
thanks, peter and madeline!
Good luck, Winterpills- vinyl release is a beautiful idea- and it makes sense to ask folks to help. I say this because it's a bit of "vinyl-beauty-awareness" education you might be doing here, as it were. Looking forward to seeing it and hearing it- we're working to share the campaign further.
