The first spark? A track called <strong><em>Horseshoe<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After moving from Los Angeles to New York, Winter took a trip to Philadelphia in the summer of 2024 to visit Turner and Silbert. What started as an online creative exchange quickly turned into a true friendship. The trio spent the entire day writing together, blending their unique sounds into something entirely new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Winter\u2019s love for dreamy, otherworldly textures met Hooky\u2019s digital edge, shaped by Philadelphia\u2019s vibrant shoegaze scene. Their music became a seamless fusion of lo-fi, indie, and electronica\u2014where lush melodies meet raw experimentation, sampling, and guitar-driven atmospheres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result? A sonic reflection of shifting seasons, capturing the bittersweet transition from late summer into fall\u2014fleeting, beautiful, and deeply immersive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Listen to <em><a href=\"https:\/\/lnk.to\/water-season\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Horseshoe<\/a><\/em> now<\/strong><br><strong>Watch the official <em>Horseshoe<\/em> music video<\/strong> <strong>below<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zFLSFu76tio?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-CA&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Out now on Julia\u2019s War Recordings \u2018Water Season\u2019 Track list Pre-Save \u2018Water Season\u2019 A Collaboration Born from Mutual Admiration \u2018Water Season\u2019 began when Winter and <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=41414\" title=\"Winter &amp; Hooky unveil \u2018Water Season\u2019 \u2013 A dreamy, genre-blending journey\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":41416,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[22,23,28,29,30,1907,5812],"tags":[9751,395,12139,12138,12137],"class_list":["post-41414","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-guitar-rock","category-indie","category-music","category-music-video","category-new-release","category-news","category-shoegaze","tag-bedroom-pop","tag-dream-pop","tag-horseshoe","tag-water-season","tag-winter-hooky"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_3942.png?fit=1200%2C675","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-aLY","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":36078,"url":"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=36078","url_meta":{"origin":41414,"position":0},"title":"METZ announce Horseshoe Hootenanny Live-Stream","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"March 28, 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"METZ\u00a0have announced their latest live-stream show, as part of the\u00a0Horseshoe Hootenanny Live-Stream series.
