The Record Winter is helping mellow out the local scene with a strong dose of dreamy indie rock. James Trujillo, former member of Keeping Ellis and Maida, is joined by Dominic Miranda (vocals, guitar and keyboard), Matt Hastings (drums and percussion) and Steve Sczepanik (lead guitar, keyboard and percussion). Miranda describes the Record Winter's sound as "Tim Kasher enabling Jeff Tweedy to drink and do a few lines of coke while Neil Young tells them they should get over themselves." At its core, the Record Winter crafts a poetic and artful blend of twang-tinged singer/songwriter melodies with an ambient bent and a touch of soul and groove, highlighting the somber with a glimmer of hope. Trebuchet and Dead Earth open. - Beau Dowling sanjose.com
