Congratulations on GrIndie Award
author: RadioIndy.com
"Seraphim Winter" is the excellent self-titled debut EP from San Francisco outfit Seraphim Winter that features outstanding female lead vocals and delightful ambient arrangements. All of the members of Seraphim Winter lend their vocals to the EP, though the beautiful and sensuous lead vocals of Mary F. Connors and the harmonic backing vocals of Stephanie Eike fuel this release. The songs are soothing, enticed with melodic keyboard, guitars, and percussion, and Western influence serving as a great accompaniment to the vocals. The songs are ethereal, moody, and meditative--great for relaxation. "Seraphim Winter" is well-produced, bringing the vocals to the forefront while keeping the instruments soft and befitting. "Dawn" opens the EP with a beautiful vocal harmony, ambience, and worldly beat, then has an excellent build that moves the song into a relaxing instrumental segment. "Welcome" closes the album with a nice beat, minimalistic keyboard work, a beautiful, worldly vocal performance from Connors, and great vocal layering and harmonizing. This is a great debut EP with moving female lead vocals and great atmospheric arrangements that leave you in eager anticipation of full-length versions. Fans of new age and superb female vocals should definitely give this EP a listen.
