Actors and Actresses

The Winter Blanket's new full-length "Actors and Actresses" finds the band working with a new sense of confidence. A band that once was so quick to admit their influences has now created a unique, mature identity of their own. The Winter Blanket has retained their beautiful minimalism while expanding their dynamic intensity and opening up to a more mature vocal delivery. Lyrically, "Actors and Actresses" is concerned with avoiding the pitfalls of adulthood while searching for an honest face in the crowd. Red House Painters and Nick Drake fans will be impressed by The Winter Blanket's unique mix of minimalist pop with singer-songwriter sensibilities. The Winter Blanket's home base of Illinois is a window with which they view the full spectrum of the seasons. This natural change reflects the well-rounded feelings and perspectives in their music.
