Single of the week (Today): There is something
about this single that sends me back to autumnal afternoons when
I was 10, sitting on the couch in my old house listening to Sgt
Peppers. And its also listening to Blur in year 10 while the rain
beats the windows, too much homework to do. And its sunny afternoons
having beers with friends at someone else’s house while
everyone plays DJ. It is music of substance and emotion, at once
nostalgic and fresh. Like The Soundtrack of Our Lives, The Winters
have cleverly absorbed all of their influences into one shimmering
whole leaving familiar tracks and trademarks without resorting
to deja vu or pastiche. Here’s to many more winters.

“Today” in many respects is a song
that encapsulates all the elements typical of The Winters –
vocal harmonies, atmospheric effects, melodic and funky bass lines
- all this and more combined in the one song! All elements of
the song come together to form a formidable pop-rock song of an
incredibly high standard.
This latest offering from the Sydney-based pop-rock quartet is
a great example of the high level of musicianship possessed by
The Winters.
