It's been a good couple of years since The Long Winters last graced Vancouver. True to their namesake season, the band were in town for the first show of what's sure to be a frosty North American tour. Things started out with a passable set by local act Steve Rio. Featuring a multitude of impressive guitar solos and a bassist with a face...

The Long Winters — Putting The Days To Bed

in
By Kevin Ritchie (CHARTattack) August 15, 2006 7:54 pm
The third LP from Seattle's The Long Winters is a brisk, upbeat offering of booming guitar pop that's decidedly northern in flavour. It's easy to imagine multi-instrument-playing frontman (and producer) John Roderick belting out these jangly numbers at an outdoor music festival or in the back of a snowbound pub in North Dakota. Perhaps it's the...

Singer/songwriter Kathleen Edwards' follow-up to 2008's Polaris Music Prize short-listed Asking For Flowers doesn't have a title or release date yet, but she's still working it. "There's a new cat in the house, a new address to be had, a new record to make, and new songs to play," Edwards wrote on her website on Saturday (March 27)....

I've spoken of The Long Winters before in my blog about the music from 2003. Well, I'm currently listening to The Long Winters' When I Pretend To Fall. And the album is giving me goosebumps for the umpteenth time. I don't know what it is about this album I pulled out of the chuck pile (that's where albums that are doubles or unreviewed go...

2003 was the year when the whole indie pop community got together and recorded  many, many different quality discs on both sides of the pond. While Josh Rouse's personal life was in a turmoil, his musical output was growing by leaps and bounds. The completion of his transformation from quiet, somewhat introspective roots-based singer-songwriter...

It's that time of the year when we look back at the year gone by to see the good, the bad and the mistaken. First up for this blogger is the bands from whom we didn’t hear any new material. The Essex Green: It’s been 3½ years since this Brooklyn-based trio released any new material. Back in the spring of 2006, the folky-tinged pop band released...

The Long Winters: In It For The Girls

in
By Scott Bryson (CHARTattack) March 27, 2007 4:30 pm
John Roderick has no one to blame but himself if Putting The Days To Bed doesn't meet expectations. Roderick, the brains behind much of The Long Winters' material, stepped into the role of producer and took complete control of the group's third full-length. Part a life warning and part a celebration of living, Putting The Days To Bed is a...

Spring has arrived, but some music fans may already be looking forward to more Long Winters. The Seattle guitar pop band will release Putting The Days To Bed, their third LP, through Barsuk Records on July 25. The full-length follow-up to 2003's When I Pretend To Fall EP was recorded by scratchy-voiced Alaskan singer/songwriter/guitarist John...
