Songs Of The Decade: Winterlight by Clearlake

In this era of iPod, short songs seem to find more favor. Sure, there's always a little Close To The Edge going on, but you can cram more shorties on your player, and you don't have much time to impatiently skip those quick tracks. However, I've always got time for greatness, and Winterlight is magic.

Atmospheric builds, shimmering guitars, and a magnificent mystery of imagery, Winterlight is a celebration of the chill and joys of winter. Imagine the late 60's Kinks in a Cocteau Twins curated echoplex and enjoy the ride.

To present Clearlake's finest 7, I'm hijacking D.J. Prairielaura's Blip.fm feed, because she was the one who first tipped me off to these masters. Click here to feel the slightest warmth as we approach the first days of winter. So don't thank me, thank Laura. Thanks, Laura!
