5.0 out of 5 stars Tasteful Folk Pop with Substance and Melodies Shines, February 7, 2006

Folk pop can fall into certain traps: it can be cliched, too precious, or too derivative of other established bands, but the Winterpills are an original band with warm melodies who avoid these traps. Fans of Innocence Mission, Belle and Sebastian, and The Trash Can Sinatras will probably enjoy the Winterpills. If you like this type of melodic folk rock, may I suggest the Swedish band Ronderlin.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a Cure, February 2, 2006

Is there a pill for the winter? Yes. It's this album.

Lush and jangly and warm, like the morning sun slipping in past the icycles on your roof. It envelopes you and warms you up. This album hugs you.

I found the Winterpills through a band called School for the Dead and their singer Henning Ohlenbusch. Ohlenbusch and the Winterpills' Philip Price were collaborators in a band called The Gay Potatoes which also featured Chris Collingwood of Fountains of Wayne. Did you follow that? I'm not sure even I did.

Price, like Ohlenbusch and Collingwood, has a talent for scribing beautiful, friendly, melodic, and moving pop hits. The Winterpills themselves, the band, arranges them into these delicate yet powerful expressions of emotion. You'll love it.

If you enjoy the music of Elliot Smith, Sufjan Stevens, The Shins, The Sundays, Paul Simon, School for the Dead, Fountains of Wayne, and Suzanne Vega you will want this album for your very own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful., December 27, 2005

After many recmmendations and partly due to the fact that this group is from my area, I recently bought this cd. I love it. The music is soft and gorgeous, and The Winterpills definately have some major talent, successfully blending female and male vocals. If you listen to the likes of Iron and Wine and Sufjan Stevens, definately buy this cd.
