Putting the Days to Bed, the third LP from Seattle’s The Long Winters, combines the lyrical intimacy and melodic complexity of the Ultimatum EP with the guitar pop rave-ups of the band’s previous full-lengths. The two sides of songwriter John Roderick come together to create the most compelling Long Winters release to date.
John Roderick writes songs that make you feel like you’ve been talking to someone really interesting in an airport for the last hour and, although you know you’ll never see them again, you just told them your whole life story and a part of you will love them forever.

 Ultimatum EP - An epic studio experiment, Ultimatum is gilded with string quartets and analog synths, but at its core are four adventurous songs about disaster. Electric guitar takes a backseat to toy keyboards and trashed drum-loops as shuttles crash, lovers drown, and machines take over the Earth. Released in October 2005. More » |

 When I Pretend to Fall - As its cover art suggests, this triumphant follow-up to the Long Winters’ debut is like a fucked-up rainbow. The music bounds across all known pop-rock sub-genres as the lyrics explore hope and despair in equal measure. Bonus: lyrics that come in to focus more and more as life wears on. Released in May 2003. More » |

 The Worst You Can Do is Harm - The first Long Winters LP sounds like what it is: a chronicle of mental and emotional dissolution, set alight by lyrics that scour the dark corners of the psyche and by unstoppable pop hooks turned all inside-outsky. Released in 2002 and recommended for times when your headphones are your shield against the world. More » |
