Houses: Winter (A Return to Spring)
by Steffanie Giesler
In the fourth installment of the Seasons EP releases, singer Andy Hamilton took every aspect of my loneliest winter and then decided to display it for me on a six-song album, at least that’s what it felt like. In this bluesy, melancholy collection, it kicks off with the delightfully depressing “Alone, Dear,” which utilizes bells to violins and organs while the lyrics bring back the memory of complete desolation. The album continues through a series of dangerously darkly
woven tracks until track five, “Bones of the Earth,” is reached. The guitar is Chicago Blues’ club worthy. The main point here is winter is coming. So, grab a cup of tea, or a glass of whiskey, throw on those headphones with a blanket on a couch, and dive in to this record: It may not be uplifting, but it’s nothing less than unforgettable.
