With an intoxicating blend of shimmering synths, rich piano textures, atmospheric pads, and the celestial dual harmonies of Ananda Howard and Jasmine Ardley, Winter Gardens craft a sound that feels both otherworldly and deeply personal. Traversing ethereal shoegaze, driving post-punk, and brooding gothic undertones, their music offers emotional depth and cryptic lyricism, wrapping listeners in a kaleidoscopic dreamscape.

They’ve steadily built a reputation for their distinctive sound and captivating live shows, sharing stages with Echo & The Bunnymen, Gary Numan, Modern English, Piroshka, and Pale Blue Eyes. They’ve become a fixture on the UK festival circuit, including a standout set at Rockaway Beach 2024 alongside OMD, Self Esteem, and Peter Hook & The Light, plus appearances at Seaview, Supersonic, Left Of The Dial.

2024 marked an exciting evolution, with a bold new lineup and performances across the UK and Europe. Their growing profile is matched by support from BBC Radio 1, BBC Introducing, and Seattle’s KEXP. Following their seven-track EP in March 2025, new singles are due in Oct 2025 and early 2026. Compass Festival 2025 marks their first ever appearance in Folkestone.
