Samira Winter Shares New Single & Video
Winter has teamed up with The Fader to share her first single & video “Bonsai”, a technicolour whirlwind who’s setting is the perfect dreamscape for the song’s nostalgic summer energy. The video was directed by Ambar Navarro, whose videos for Cuco, Soccer Mommy, Anna Burch, you’ve likely seen.
The band is the songwriting outlet for Samira Winter, who grew up in Curitiba, Brazil with an American father and a Brazilian mother, before moving to the US at 18 for college. She started the project in her last semester in Boston then relocated to Los Angeles where the band currently resides.
Since then, she’s built a loyal fanbase and toured the US and Brazil extensively. Despite coverage from Noisey, Rolling Stone, Line of Best Fit, and The 405, among others, she’s managed to remain a hidden gem of LA’s DIY scene, but her 2019 seems poised to change that.
Winter has toured with Speedy Ortiz, Broncho, Anna Burch, and played festivals such as Desert Daze and the Animal Collective Big Sur festival. They have toured internationally in Europe, Mexico, Argentina and Brazil. Winter has released two records “Supreme Blue Dream”(2015) and “Ethereality”(2018) as well as the (mostly) Brazilian album “Estrela Magica” in collaboration with the psych band Triptides.
The Infinite Summer EP shows a more playful 80’s spin on Winter’s already nostalgic sound. With songs in both English and Portuguese, the five-track EP follows the range of emotions any girl will experience in her bedroom daydreams. Infinite Summer will be out April 13th in partnership with Record Store Day as an exclusive to all indie record stores.
