About

Description
"... as sweet as they come, and deserves to be massive." Clem Bastow - Inpress

"**** (four stars)" Lee Van Tram - Rolling Stone

"It's an absolute corker." Nick Clarke - Beat Magazine

"Dismiss the beginner's luck - Melbourne duo Winterpark is out to prove that it's something special." Brooke Salisbury - Drum Media

"There has been a relative explosion of so-called electro pop acts in Australia recently. Some are very good, and some are very, very bad. Winterpark clearly fall into the 'very good' category, blending a mixture of swirling nu-gaze pop with tight electro beats and programming, emotive vocals and often beautiful melodies."
"Winterpark take various influences and build upon them in such a way as to come up with something new and inspired, something that stands out from the pap we are currently having forced upon us." Tim Burke - Inpress

"Hooked could be the lost contribution to the Sixteen Candles soundtrack" Craig Mathieson - SMH

"The band are very good at what they do" Roger Nelson - Inpress

"From Hewitt's rich sweet vocals through to the ambient, cinematic backing tracks, there is much to like here." David Butler - Canberra Times

"Swirling opener Planes and the droning So Far, are carried along by vocal harmonies recalling My Bloody Valentine's halcyon days..." Denis Semchenko - Rave Magazine
