Winter Gloves All Red

For their follow-up to debut album About a Girl, also released by Paper Bag, Canadian foursome Winter Gloves returned to a hometown studio in Montreal to lay down some tracks that had been coming together over the previous year of touring. Production duties were handled by frontman/chief songwriter Charles F, who wanted to return to the sound of their first self-released EP. That means focusing on creating pop tunes out of frenetic synths, base lines and drum machines. Conceptually, All Red focuses on the anxieties and fears of adulthood, and is reminiscent of their pals and touring companions Tokyo Police Club.
