Winter Releases Misery (featuring Horse Jumper of Love)

This new effort from Winter was already high upon my anticipation list for the year, but with their latest single, Samira’s got Horse Jumper of Love on board too, illustrating the draw of her powerful songwriting. Over her last several releases I’ve marveled at how the project manages to channel the softer side of bedroom pop while filling it with this upbeat energy that makes your body respond to every little note. HJoL provides the heavy strum that runs through the track, which for me, serves a lot like the traditional rhythm section, with the notes operating more like a continuous drum hit that allows for Winter to blanket the tune in her smoky whisper.
