“The Declining Winter” Archives

Classic Declining Winter fare — even in its latent, unpolished form.

A stark and haunting ballad driven by grief over a loved one’s death.

A brief video from the The Declining Winter’s recent UK tour with epic45.

An appropriately autumnal video for one of my favorite albums of the year.

The Declining Winter’s latest album is their finest yet, a stark-yet-lush affair filled with haunting arrangements and lyrics.

The band’s latest single perfectly evokes the mood, if not the actual chill, of mid-winter days.

Pastoral post-rock that re-imagines Bark Psychosis’ gauzy sounds for the British countryside.

Pastoral post-rock, ominous-yet-lovely electronic, contemplative electro-classical, krautrock-inspired cinematic music, and glassy dreampop.

Ominous ambience, funky hip-hop, pan-global instrumentals, crushing electronica, elegant post-punk, and forlorn post-rock.

Also: The elitism of the current technology boom, ‘Daredevil,’ Sufjan Stevens and broken love, and biblical hermeneutics with Terrence Malick.

The Declining Winter continues to explore shambling, pastoral post-rock territory.

In this edition: Pastoral post-rock, bombastic indie-prog, emotional folk-rock, and elegant guitar instrumentals.

Björk, The Declining Winter, Sufjan Stevens, and many more. Time to start saving up…

Haunt the Upper Hallways might sound awfully familiar if you’ve been a longtime Hood fan, but that doesn’t mean it’s stale or that there aren’t plenty of lovely moments throughout the album.
