It seems to be Massachusetts week here at OTBKB Music: first, Sarah Borges (Boston) Wednesday and The Winterpills (Northampton) today.

Although they are often referred to as "chamber pop," I always think of the Winterpills as a band which plays quiet music really loud. This video, a live appearance at a radio station, is a good way to understand what it is that The Winterpills do.

Tomorrow The Winterpills appear on a strong triple bill along with Brooklyn artists KaiserCartel and Lucinda Black Bear at The Bell House, 149 7th Street (near 2nd Avenue), Gowanus, 7:30 pm.
