WINTERPILLS LAUNCH EAST COAST TOUR IN SUPPORT OF 'LOVE SONGS’

FRONTED BY HARMONY-HEAVY HUSBAND-AND-WIFE DUO, MASSACHUSETTS-BASED BAND JOINS WESLEY STACE’S CABINET OF WONDERS AT CITY WINERY MARCH 11

 With an evolving sound that blends their chamber pop and indie folk roots with the noise and nuance of '90s indie rock, Winterpills — whose new album, 'Love Songs,' hits stores March 18th — will tour the northeast this spring. First stop will be Wesley Stace’s Cabinet of Wonders at City Winery on March 11, joining host Wesley Stace and a bill with Walter Martin of the Walkmen, Eugene Mirman, Ken Stringfellow of the Posies, and others.

The tour includes a two-night stand at the Parlor Room in the band's hometown of Northampton. For Winterpills, the shows mark the continuation of a project that began a decade ago. Since then, the Massachusetts-based band — fueled by the male-female harmonies of husband-and-wife combo Philip Price and Flora Reed — has become an indie favorite. In a Q&A, Impose Magazine praised the band's "harmonies and melodies that pay tribute to the art of capturing glimmers of light frozen in the aperture blink of time."

"We weren't a couple until after I joined the band," Reed remembers, "and when it started we tried hard to put the brakes on, not thinking it was the best idea. But we quickly learned it was the best idea. After 12 years together as bandmates and partners, we've figured out what works and what doesn't work for our roles in the band, and beyond that into our life together. I'm lucky to get to do this work with Philip, travel the world, and sing with someone I love."

'Love Songs' brings Winterpills together with another mainstay of the New England indie rock scene: co-producer Justin Pizzoferrato, the Western Mass studio head whose credits include projects with Sonic Youth, the Pixies and Dinosaur Jr. Together, they push 'Love Songs' into bigger, bolder territory, layering the band's melodic hooks with washes of experimental noise and electric guitar.
