With shimmering synths, atmospheric pads, layered guitars, and the celestial dual harmonies of Ananda Howard and Jasmine Ardley, Winter Gardens guide the listener through a vibrant spectrum of dynamic, contrasting sounds. Their music fuses ethereal shoegaze textures with a driving post-punk energy and a brooding gothic undercurrent, while cryptic yet intimate lyrics add to its haunting allure.
