Winter Aid Release New Single 'Secret Sister' Ahead of Upcoming LP
Discussing the track, Culloty stated, “'Secret Sister' came together like magic, and was 95% finished for years. I just couldn’t quite nail the energy in the mix, but Larry Crane got it immediately. The lyrics are strange to me - at first I thought it was about one thing, but as it came together over a few days, I realized it was about grief, losing family members and imagining the lives they may have lived.” Listen to the song here!
