Quiet Winter is an internationally-touring ambient post-rock band fronted by Canadian composer Brandon Garay. The
project initially emerged after a workplace injury limited the use of their hands, but quickly revealed Garay’s unique
ability to arrange ambient sounds into emotionally alive and dynamic creations. Escapism was the first of their five
releases to have garnered attention, charting independent radio stations and receiving glowing accolades from
Canadian press including Cups N Cakes Pod and Tome to the Weather Machine.
Quiet Winter’s upcoming record ‘Action Painting’ promises to be their most explorative and personal release to date,
featuring songs the band toured across North America last year before a traumatic motor vehicle accident halted their
plans and left them questioning what it meant to be artists, and what it meant to be alive. ‘Action Painting’ will branch
off from the dark ambience of their latest release ‘Peppermint Tea ‘ into a cinematic cacophony of sound with a quiet
bliss at its core; promising comfortable lavender-scented evenings spent stretching on the floor, heartbreaking
self-reflection, and the energetic anticipation of devouring a mosh pit for the first time.
A member in both Western Canadian Music Award-winning art-rock band 36? and beloved progressive art pop
songstress Laura Hickli, Garay is no stranger to fully embracing life’s versatile offerings, and returns to the road this
June on a three-month summer tour; this time with new music and a new perspective.
