Our Take

Once Upon a Winter's latest offering, "Pain And Other Pleasures," is a rollercoaster of emotional intensity packaged beautifully in transparent red vinyl. The band takes you on a journey through the highs and lows of life, exploring themes of heartbreak, joy, and everything in between.

The album kicks off with "Bittersweet Symphony," a hauntingly beautiful track that sets the tone for what's to come. Lead vocalist Sarah Smith's ethereal voice soars over intricate guitar riffs and pounding drums, creating a sonic landscape that is both captivating and emotional.

Tracks like "Empty Promises" and "Lost in the Woods" showcase the band's ability to blend genres seamlessly, with hints of post-rock and shoegaze weaving through their signature atmospheric sound. The result is a truly unique listening experience that will leave you wanting more.

However, not every track hits the mark. "Broken Dreams" feels a bit too formulaic, lacking the raw emotion present in other songs on the album. But fear not, because Once Upon a Winter more than make up for it with the epic closing track, "Rebirth." This sprawling masterpiece builds to a crescendo of epic proportions, leaving you breathless and wanting to hit replay.

Overall, "Pain And Other Pleasures" is a triumph for Once Upon a Winter, showcasing their growth as musicians and storytellers. Dive into this album with an open heart and prepare to be taken on a journey you won't soon forget.
