notes
Seraphim Winter is an eclectic journey into an ambient, spiritual place; it feels otherworldly yet maintains a deeply personal and moving touch. Soft, moody keyboards, surreal, melodic guitars and hypnotic percussion all blend achingly with gorgeous, sensual vocal work to create a moody and beautiful atmosphere.
Seraphim Winter is:
Mary F. Connors- Main Vocals
Stephanie Eike- Supporting Vocals
Andrew D. Carson- Instrumentation, Arrangements and Supporting Vocals
Kawal Arora- Percussion, Drums, Arrangements and Supporting Vocals
The San Francisco-based group uses an unusual mix of modern Western instruments with ethnic sources, blending its inspiration from Tablas, Dumbeks and even the Hindi language to merge it with electric guitars, keyboards and haunting vocal work.

Congratulations on GrIndie Award
author: RadioIndy.com"Seraphim Winter" is the excellent self-titled debut EP from San Francisco outfit Seraphim Winter that features outstanding female lead vocals and delightful ambient arrangements. All of the members of Seraphim Winter lend their vocals to the EP, though the beautiful and sensuous lead vocals of Mary F. Connors and the harmonic backing vocals of Stephanie Eike fuel this release. The songs are soothing, enticed with melodic keyboard, guitars, and percussion, and Western influence serving as a great accompaniment to the vocals. The songs are ethereal, moody, and meditative--great for relaxation. "Seraphim Winter" is well-produced, bringing the vocals to the forefront while keeping the instruments soft and befitting. "Dawn" opens the EP with a beautiful vocal harmony, ambience, and worldly beat, then has an excellent build that moves the song into a relaxing instrumental segment. "Welcome" closes the album with a nice beat, minimalistic keyboard work, a beautiful, worldly vocal performance from Connors, and great vocal layering and harmonizing. This is a great debut EP with moving female lead vocals and great atmospheric arrangements that leave you in eager anticipation of full-length versions. Fans of new age and superb female vocals should definitely give this EP a listen.

"My highest compliment for this unique amalgam of ethereal music and vocals is that it is now my favorite CD to soothe my jagged edges and remind me to breathe."

"Listening to this CD was a haunting, ethereal experience. The mood, the voices, the instrumentation took me to a very unfamiliar, yet welcome place. I was curious to hear the music after spending time looking at the art work on the CD cover. I was not disappointed when the sounds I heard took me……away!"

"Mary's voice is enchanting and the back up vocals and instrumentals harmonize beautifully."
