It is the dead of winter, so do you even care about anything? If I know you (I do not), you’ve retreated into your corner of sloth for the next few months. No thoughts, no movement, no life. What do you care? It’s cold. Honestly, though, you’ll just take any excuse to rid your brain of all thoughts. Suits the season, you know! Jeez, this is a dark examination of your collective selves. Really, it need not be so bad. I mean, Still Corners are going on a European tour this winter.
Yes, while the rest of us are sinking slowly into our beds, the Sub Pop-signed, London-based dream pop act Still Corners will be touring through Europe. It’s admirable and it should give us all hope to not give up in the darkest, coldest months. Granted, some of us live in places where it’s unseasonably warm right now (I live in a place where it’s unseasonably warm right now), so there’s another reason not to give up hope. Couple that with the fact that Still Corners, who put out their debut full-length Creatures of an Hour (TMT Review) last year, will be on a European tour that begins in February and stretches into the first cracks of spring, and you have a veritable buffet of reasons to keep the ol’ brain working through the winter. Or you could sleep through it all. That’s okay, too.
