In January, LA’s Samira Winter — who goes by her last name — shared “the lonely girl.” Today, the dreamy artist has announced a new EP entitled …and she’s still listening. The unsettling shoegazey sprawl “Sallow” is out now with a music video by Charlie Mcalpin Henderson.

“The words came out through a stream of conscious improvisation as I stumbled upon the word ‘Sallow’ only to realize it meant ‘pale sun,’ which perfectly captured the song,” Winter said in a statement. She added about the EP:

I think for me, one of the themes across the board with Winter is ephemerality and the bittersweetness of life. I had a beginner’s mindset when making the songs off the EP. I allowed myself to explore and play with beats and styles of singing I hadn’t ever tried before. All the lyrics are written from the perspective of a female character who is somewhat an extension of me.

…and she’s still listening, which includes “the lonely girl,” was made during a peripatetic period of her life when she traveled back and forth between London, Vermont, New York, and Los Angeles. The title and themes of the album were inspired by Vasilisa, a Russian fairy tale about a girl who finds freedom in a doll that her mother had given her as it helps her escape the enchanted forest.
