Brazilian-American songwriter Samira Winter — the mastermind of Winter, for those who know her glitter — makes dream-pop for your happy place. Over three albums (one a collaboration with Triptides) and sundry EPs and singles, she has taken the wistful nostalgia associated with the genre and infused it with palpable buoyancy, evident not just in the recordings but in her band’s free-spirited live shows.

The singer-songwriter, who was reared in Curitiba, Brazil, and launched her namesake project while attending Emerson College, returns April 13 with the new EP “Infinite Dream.” Singing in Portuguese and English, she adroitly balances her delicate vocals with blissful sheets of guitar. She dreams of infinite youth in the soft/loud meditation “Always Teenager” and sounds every bit the raw version of what was known as indie-pop in the 1980s in “Bonsai.” It’s just about as sweet as a grown woman clutching a stuffed toy as you’d imagine, but somehow not cloying.

Director Ambar Navarro’s video provides the translation.
