A Weather

The Woods
Portland, OR

From deep within the confines of the storied Portland mist comes indie-folk outfit A Weather. A postcard from the green and gray, A Weather is moody and warm, rife with odes of looming loss, hopeful notes to self and hushed revelations that speak directly to the yearning heart. Their songs are marked with an intimacy so striking that it feels like you're eavesdropping on the pillow talk of two forlorn lovers. Indeed, this is music to curl up with.

At the core of A Weather's warm, soft-spoken sounds are the comely vocals of frontman/singer/songwriter Aaron Gerber and singer/drummer Sarah Winchester. With remarkable restraint and understated delivery, their harmonies trace each other, cross paths, diverge and intertwine, undercutting the gravity of the band's material. Winchester's drumming (using only an upturned bass drum, a snare and a cymbal) is rock solid, uncluttered and highly musical. Meanwhile, guitarist Zach Boyle's meandering, sinewy lines of electric guitar have been compared to a babbling brook.

It's been a relatively short journey from A Weather's first house show to their current status as Portland favorites. They've received generous media buzz for its "lush folk," "bedroom bards," "quiet folk-pop," darkly fuzzy, warm and tender acoustic folk-pop" and "hush-pop." They've shared the stage with the likes of Bright Eyes as well as Portland's The Builders and the Butchers, Gregory Miles Harris, Laura Gibson and Bark, Hide and Horn.
