A vibrant spectrum of dynamic, contrasting sounds
With shimmering synths, atmospheric pads, layered guitars, and the celestial dual harmonies of Ananda Howard and Jasmine Ardley, WINTER GARDENS guide the listener through a vibrant spectrum of dynamic, contrasting sounds. Their music fuses ethereal shoegaze textures with a driving post-punk energy and a brooding gothic undercurrent, while cryptic yet intimate lyrics add to its haunting allure.
Since the band’s inception, Winter Garden have secured support slots for a number of high-profile names including Echo & The Bunnymen, Gary Numan, Modern English, Piroshka and Pale Blue Eyes. The band have also been regular festival favourites, most recently playing Rockaway Beach in January alongside the likes of OMD, Self Esteem, and Peter Hook & The Light.
2024 Has seen the formation of a brand new, confident lineup leading to European performances (Left of the Dial, Supersonic) and numerous radio plays (BBC Radio 1, BBC Introducing). Music video "Moonjockey" was nominated for four awards and presented Best Music Video at The Prague International Film Awards.
