Way back last October I saw a band called The Winter Tradition play at Electric Circus as part of the Oxjam festival. Back then I said that:
“The Winter Tradition are a four-piece folk group who were great live. They had to compete with a half-full room of people talking over the music, which was annoying but it’s bound to happen in somewhere like the Circus (the layout sort of facilitates it)…so yeah; soft folk vibes interlaced with rougher-hewn vocals that are closer to Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly than the pop-folk of Mumford et al.”
Since then, they’ve released a new single, in support of their album Gradients which is due out in June. The single, San Diego, was released about five days ago. The video for it is below.
