Winter Songs

by Art Bears

Winter Songs cover art

The second album from the Henry Cow splinter group is an incredibly dense, terrifyingly beautiful collection of avant-prog and medieval-inspired art songs. 'Winter Songs' relies heavily on Chris Cutler's complex percussion and Dagmar Krause's theatrical wails, creating a remarkably dark, fiercely dissonant, and wonderfully ominous wintery atmosphere.
