Wintergreen

There are 2 bands with the name 'wintergreen' wintergreen UK (see below for wintergreen US) Wintergreen are a London-based avant pop band. Formed by founder members Andy Keen and Gareth Jones (also of The Leaf Library) in Manchester in 1999, they evolved over the next decade through the electronic-tinged indie pop of early singles The Magic Road and Clockwork Mice/Autumn Leaves, via a constantly a shifting live set involving laptops, drones, layered vocal samples, autoharps, accordions and assorted other noise-generating devices. This phase of Wintergreen's history culminated in a headline slot on the church stage at the inaugural Indietracks festival in 2007, before a temporary retreat from live performance to build their own studio (Studio Klank in Wood Green, North London) where they recorded debut album The Rule of Small Things. http://www.iwantwintergreen.com/ Wintergreen US Wintergreen write complex pop songs, avoiding gimmicks and cliches. Their sound is a balance of high energy and melancholy atmosphere. Wintergreen teamed up with producer/mixer Niko Bolas (Neil Young, Keith Richards, My Morning Jacket, Fiona Apple) to put the final touches on their debut EP. With their first release, Wintergreen showcase elaborate guitar work, catchy vocal melodies, and strong rhythmic backbone. http://www.wintergreenmusic.com/ http://www.myspace.com/wintergreen Read more on Last.fm.
