Matt and Joe Winter have been singing and playing guitars together their whole lives. After the disbanding of their last group they moved 200 kilometres apart and tried to build a new life. They soon discovered that this was not possible. They could not live without music.

From different sides of the country they wrote in parallel: Joe singing spontaneously into a Dictaphone whilst in transit; Matt re-immersing himself in the music of their childhood - Simon & Garfunkel, Big Star, Smokey Robinson, Elliott Smith, The Coral - developing his own half-formed pop songs. He then melded these to the vocal fragments he received down the wire from his brother. Despite their unconventional working method - enforced by distance, constrained by time - they realised they were telling the same stories about feeling left behind and out of time, about where the discarded and forgotten bits of our selves might end up, about the biggest truths.

As 2013 became 2014 WINTER went into the studio. Spurred on by the debut albums of Villagers, King Creosote & Jon Hopkins and Tune-Yards, they recorded six sessions in seven months with producer Brett Shaw. They have now assembled these sessions into an album of their own. These are the songs they found in the dark.
