Based in Chicago, Eli Winter’s work has continually conjured joyous realms from the expansive edges of American folk revivalism.
"On Ghost Notes, Winter twists and stretches his guitar-led compositional style with a large ensemble and a cut-and-paste approach, weaving elements from the history of American music into a tapestry for the future. The album’s beat escapades, jazz-noir influences and rambling motoric-folk crystallise into a heightened state of accumulated psychedelia. Within the title is the hint of this work’s spectral presence in its conscious widening of American music’s self-sustaining mythology.
“As is the nature of recording, there’s bleed in all these odd places. And it comes out in the music, as you might have already noticed. The music, I hope, integrates the bleed within itself, but the bleed can’t go away.” Eli Winter
