The final flourish of a personal project that’s been years in the making. Chairmaker’s Three Songs for Winter reaches a bold conclusion, conjuring guitars that dance, voices who whisper, and drums that march out from the misted veil. 




With each prior EP tapping into the aesthetics and emotions of their respective seasons: Spring, Summer and Autumn. Three Songs for Winter describes the darkest, and most volatile season for many, yet also one steeped in ancient folklore and ethereal majesty.

From the stormy ascent out of droning melancholia on The Fall; to the crisp coldness and shrouded incantations of The Waves; and on to the fuzzy decay and coalescing melodies of The End. All have been influenced by a love of psychedelia and prog-rock genres, while also drawing on trip-hop percussion and FX beats more typically found in leftfield club sounds.

Although bound by the narrative thread of Winter, each track stands alone with a distinct tale to tell. The listener invited to imagine their own place in the great tidal workings of our world, and the realities that might exist beyond it.

The project first emerged out of electric guitar sketches made in an opiated state - the fallout of an unfortunate Summertime accident - where a room in which to recover quickly became a DIY music studio. The result is a measured, immersive experience. A record that’s had time and perspective to expand organically. A cauldron of sketches and live jams moulded through arpeggiated percussion, hours of DAW processing, and a mind that’s had the space to wander/wonder.
