Since she arrived in L.A. from Boston in 2014, Brazilian-American singer-guitarist Samira Winter has been a steady, upbeat presence on the scene, spreading her gospel of shoegazing and dream-pop with almost childlike joy. Her new single as Winter — a ’90s-indebted rager that sounds a little like cherub Dinosaur Jr. — suggests that all might not be rosy in band land, though. “Jaded,” was conceived after Winter played a show at the warehouse space Non Plus Ultra (RIP) and noted that her contemporaries were “drained from touring and bitter from the music industry” and that even she herself was “desensitized by the scene.” Produced by Lewis Pesacov (Best Coast, FIDLAR, among others), the song (out now on Burger Records) is written from the perspective of an outsider who witnesses a sloppy performance. “It’s a meditation on being a musician or anyone working in an over-saturated industry, at a time where you can feel so overwhelmed and undervalued,” she says. A most worthy topic, in highly capable hands.
