Winter Equinox

Winter Equinox is a mostly instrumental quartet that creates music with elements of post-rock, electronic, glitch, and experimental sounds. The band places an emphasis on heavily layered arrangements to create intense soundscapes, while combining lyrical melodies with catchy bass grooves.

Since their formation in May 2004, Winter Equinox has established themselves within many cities in Ontario. They have performed across the province, including venues in Toronto, Hamilton, Guelph, North Bay, Kingston, Brantford, Kitchener-Waterloo, London, and Stratford. Notably, the band was invited to perform at Wavelength Magazine’s Music Series while being featured within their monthly issue.

Winter Equinox takes influences from artists such as Tortoise, Do Make Say Think, Mogwai, Manitoba, Sigur Ros, Explosions in the Sky, the Notwist, and Boards of Canada.

Winter Equinox utilizes a wide variety of instruments such as keyboards, bass, guitar, drums, percussion, flute, clarinet, and programmed rhythms to define their sound.
