As it continues to snow in Victoria’s north-eastern high mountains, and rain slowly soaks the mountain ash forests here in Melbourne’s eastern ranges, we have a collection of songs to both mark the winter season and keep an eye on the horizon for the next distant summer. These gentle, thoughtful tunes float about the world of folk with avant-leaning, pop and indie sensibilities.
