The title of this song seems fitting— I’m hunkered down for another day damned by frothing flakes and beaded breath tricking from tree branches and rolling off rooftops. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a rather wintry person, the rhythmic footfall of snow, the lack of classes tomorrow, soothing jams— it’s all splendid. San Jose’s Seabright (aka Justin Morales) is the master craftsman casting forth today’s winds and whipping up a tune to keep tucked deep inside that most furry of jackets. Yes, the mercury doesn’t dare drop far below freezing in Seabright’s Californian “winter,” but that can’t wreck my frostbitten favorite. ‘Winter War’ is the fourth track off Justin’s second full-length, Dark City EP, which dropped on new year’s day. It’s full of soft guitar, hazy synths and Justin’s relaxed vocals. Arm yourself with that trusty shovel and watch this Winter War unfold around us.
