Summer is almost at its close, but Winter just released a new single to help you savor those last few drops. Shoegazey and sublime, “Alligator” is a wistful take on the overpowering effects of a perfect summer trip to California, time spent in the company of good friends and the unexpected treat of feeling so very at home while being away from home. The verses are light and sweet, leading into a super-melodic surprise attack chorus — “And you’re the reason why I never feel do-o-o-own…” Winter’s shoegaze/dream pop fusion is supremely inventive, ever inducing a delicious drifting sensation. Last month, they had us crushing with “The View”, and this month “Alligator” has us veering dangerously close to fangirl/boy status.
