Simultaneously experimental and personal, Winter Storm Warning combines folk, ambient, and progressive elements into a whole that is, by turns, meditative, challenging, and exhilarating.

Details:
Nick Bennett and Kent Rytting (with help from the other members of Naked April, and other collaborators) have released their first album as a duo: Winter Storm Warning.

Four of the songs were written individually (one by Nick, three by Kent); two more started out as rough song "sketches", brought by Nick to the first Naked April sessions; the rest arose from improvisations in Naked April and Two Demons sessions.

Throughout the project, even as Kent and Nick dived deeply into the process of recording, and the musical and technological tools available to them - touchboard stringed instruments (Chapman Stick® and Warr Guitar®), sampled drums alongside standard drum kits and other percussion, looping and layering of vocal and instrumental parts - the music remained as it began: deep glimpses into the lives of both writers.
