Winter, Max - Mourning Routine

Winter’s work blurs the boundaries between acoustic and electronic worlds, drawing from his background in classical and jazz composition while embracing alternative rock, experimental pop, and electronic textures. His creative process is deeply collaborative, bringing together longtime studio partners Will Lister and Imogen & The Knife, as well as fellow producer Melo-Zed, contributing to a record that is both intricate and accessible.

Mourning Routine explores themes of loss, transition, and renewal. Across its tracks, Winter reflects on endings—of relationships, routines, and phases of life—while embracing the possibilities that come with new beginnings. From the catchy strings of ‘The Olympics’ to the wind-swept intimacy of ‘Fresh Air’, the EP showcases his evolving approach to songwriting, combining lush instrumentation with modern production techniques.

‘Mourning Routine’ is a statement of artistic identity: introspective yet expansive, rooted in songcraft but reaching far beyond conventional genres. The EP signals a confident step forward for Winter as he continues to explore the intersection of classical composition and modern songwriting.
