Today is release day for ‘Undertow’ by San Francisco post-punk outfit OCTAVIAN WINTERS, a dark propulsive single reflecting separation from the world and the darkness that comes out of it – an ominous current capable of pulling someone away from hope. Born into the ghostly isolation of San Francisco in 2022, Octavian Winters draws from darkwave and post-punk traditions, weaving their visceral and ethereal sound into a texture all its own – of stories once told but half-remembered.

Following their debut single ‘Ondine’, ‘Undertow’ previews their debut EP ‘The Line of Curve’, recorded by MARK PISTEL (Meat Beat Manifesto, Consolidated) with production, mixing and mastering by WILLIAM FAITH (The Bellwether Syndicate, Faith and the Muse, Christian Death, The March Violets), whose credits include Jarboe, Clan of Xymox, Bootblacks and Autumn.
