About Cameron Winter:
While on a grueling, year-long tour with his band Geese, Cameron Winter recorded the bulk of his debut solo album in a succession of hotel room closets, singing into the built-in microphone on his MacBook. Staying awake for several days at a time to keep up with his band’s non-stop schedule, Winter’s newest work recalls creative mania in the depths of night.
Cameron Winter puts forth a hallucinatory combination of dreamlike imagery and crepuscular haze – not surprising, considering that the music was created while the Geese frontman was under the near-constant influence of, in his own words, “a crazy amount of extra-strength antihistamines and crushed up wellbutrin.” Winter purports that the inspiration for his first solo effort was supplied entirely by listening to 1967’s Songs of Leonard Cohen “maybe over two-hundred times” while hospitalized with double-mononucleosis. Upon listening to Heavy Metal’s patient arrangements, warm production and hypnagogic lyricism, it’s clear that the spirit of the greats has indeed rubbed off on the young singer-songwriter.
