Uncle Slayton's is proud to host WINTERPILLS' fifth appearance in Louisville, this time in duo format and on the heels of the full band's brand new fifth album, All My Lovely Goners, released on Valentine's Day. Beginning 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 the singer-songwriter hotbed of Northampton, MA in recent years, adding another chapter to the ever-expanding world of ethereal indie-pop. Theirs is 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.

Winterpills' music gradually builds elegant arrangements steeped in 1960s folk-pop and rootsy rock, hinting at a Simon and Garfunkel and Fairport Convention, cropping up in numerous television shows including the hit ABC show Grey’s Anatomy, NBC’s Parenthood and the U.K. series Skins. They have shared the stage with such notable and diverse artists as Vampire Weekend, CAKE, Dr. Dog, Grant-Lee Phillips, Lisa Germano, Crowded House, Fountains of Wayne and Martha Wainwright. “There is something about this band which reaches way down inside and plucks strings which seldom get plucked...sends me back to the days when music was exploration and melody and harmony were sometimes overwhelming.” ~ Rock and Reprise. Welcome back, lovely people!
