Winter Gardens focus on greed for new single 'Anthropocene' ahead of their March EP release

Winter Gardens have dropped their new single 'Anthropocene' via Austerity Records. The track serves as the final standalone single from their upcoming EP 'Uncomfortable/Unlovable', which arrives on 26th March.

The Brighton quartet's latest offering, engineered and mixed by Luke Marsden and mastered by Andy Miles at Star Delta, combines synths, pianos, and electronics with live drums and shoegaze-influenced guitar riffs.

"The Anthropocene reflects our growing sense of entitlement to pleasure and satisfaction, often at the expense of everything else," the band explain. "In an era dominated by overconsumption, materialism, and insatiable greed, we rarely stop to consider the true cost of our indulgences. Whether it's human exploitation, the suffering of animals, or the degradation of the environment, our immediate gratification consistently takes priority. The relentless pursuit of personal desires has led to a world where we expect comfort and convenience, disregarding the long-term consequences. In this age, the planet and its inhabitants—who ultimately pay the price—are pushed aside in favour of short-term satisfaction."

Winter Gardens have previously supported acts including Echo & The Bunnymen, Gary Numan, Modern English, Piroshka and Pale Blue Eyes. They recently performed at Rockaway Beach festival alongside OMD, Self Esteem and Peter Hook & The Light, and have appeared at European festivals including Left Of The Dial and Supersonic.
