In the vast expanse of the musical universe, few bands dare to tread the boundary-pushing path quite like South for Winter. Hailing from New Zealand, this folk-rock trio has captured the hearts of listeners with their enchanting melodies and introspective lyricism. Now, they're set to embark on a new voyage with the release of their highly anticipated album, "Of Sea and Sky".

Recorded and produced in the heart of Nashville, Tennessee, alongside two-time GRAMMY award-winner Matt Leigh, "Of Sea and Sky" promises to take listeners on a genre-bending journey through the depths of emotion and the vast expanse of the universe. With six singles released leading up to the album, including the ethereal "Something in the Stars" and the bluegrass-tinged murder ballad "This Man Will Be the Death of Me," South for Winter has offered tantalizing glimpses into the album's multifaceted nature.

At the core of "Of Sea and Sky" lies a captivating fusion of celestial and maritime elements, woven together by lush instrumentation and haunting vocals. From the delicate guitar-cello instrumental that opens the album to the swampy blues licks and heavy rock rhythms that characterize its second half, each track invites listeners to immerse themselves in South for Winter's world of beauty and wonder.

Lead guitarist and songwriter Nick Stone describes the album as the culmination of years of brainstorming and creative exploration. "We knew we wanted to lean into a bluesier sound for 'Sea Side' and draw inspiration from post-rock music for 'Sky Side'," says Stone. "Combining our influences into one cohesive sound has been our goal for years, and this album feels like we've finally figured it out."

Lead singer and songwriter Dani Stone echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the intentional choices made throughout the album's creation process. "From the amount of reverb on the vocals to the simplified drum parts, everything had to fit the album's concept perfectly," says Stone. "We're really proud that we managed to achieve the vision we wanted."

South for Winter, comprised of Nick Stone, Dani Cichon (Stone), and Alex Stradal, invites listeners to join them on a musical odyssey through the depths of emotion and the boundless expanse of the universe. For more information about South for Winter visit their website here.
