The singer and songwriter
of alternative rock music known as Winter Darks has released her
debut album, “Any Place All the Time.” The record contains 11
original Winter Darks songs for an approximate total listening time
of 42 minutes. It has been proudly published on the Spaceship Radio
independent music label without the direction of the corporate music
industry. Bearing elements of alt-rock, early indie rock and even
pre-millennium emo, “Any Place All the Time” showcases Winter
Darks as one of today's most intriguing rock songwriters.
Portland, Oregon's Winter
Darks cites as main artistic influences Metallica's Kirk Hammett,
classical guitar music, '90s grunge rock and alternative rock.
Elements of these are easily discerned in “Any Place All the Time,”
so that fans of the above are sure to find something they appreciate
in this Freshman release from Winter Darks.
As her stage moniker
hints, Winter Darks began in music under bleak circumstances. Asked
to describe her start as an artist, Darks writes, “Isolation +
trauma + desperation.” However, she also reveals that creativity in
music comes naturally to her: “I started writing melodies and ideas
the day I picked up a guitar.”
Darks has described her
music as “gloomily optimistic.” A down-to-earth and discernably
genuine person, she openly declares her songs “honest and
relatable.” Nevertheless, Winter Darks does have an introverted
facet to her musical character.
“When I started
playing guitar,” writes Darks, “I didn't want anyone to hear what
I had written, so I only played guitar for other people's bands and
never sang. I wasn't that happy, so I tried making my own project
using my songs but finding someone to sing my lyrics for me. I never
found the right chemistry with anyone, so I tried playing and singing
one of my songs at an open mic, and it finally felt right.”
“Any Place All the
Time,” the debut album from Winter Darks, is available at over 600
quality digital music stores online worldwide now. Get in early,
alt-rock fans.
