Five years after her extraordinary fifth album 'Starlings & Crows' Chloë March returns with her inimitable voice and mesmeric songwriting.

 

Her new five track is the first in a Series of 'Wintering' EP’s to be released over the forthcoming season.

 

'Wintering: Snow' sees March in full distinctive evocative and imagistic flow, the songs imbued with melancholy romanticism, magic realism and a deep undertow of grief, and her beautiful voice displaying the shifting tones and embodied emotion for which she is known.

 

'Minster Bell' is an intensely imagistic love song evoking the wintry coal-smoke fog-wreathed streets of the early twentieth-century. Crystalline bells and music box textures underpinned by shimmering cinematic depth accompany a glowingly sensual vocal expressing the fragile wonder of love requited.

 

The lush synths, sparkling propulsive harps and velvety vocal of 'Winter Twin' evoke a dreamy tale of discovery, while the cinematic sound-world of 'Wolvy' takes you by the hand to run through the snowy forest, before delivering a piano and vocal coda of aching loss with echoes of Debussy and Mussorgsky. The hypnotic textures of 'No Loving Face' also conjure a landscape of loss and confusion, with glimpses of a lost loving daughter in a winter garden. 'Under Snow' is a pared back ballad of achingly beautiful sadness, with deceptively gentle descending melodies in the piano and vocal falling like soft snow, the cold bleakness within the lyrics and the heartache in the voice creating a micro-avalanche of emotional depth.
