Shane Culloty, aka Winter Aid, has shared the first single ‘Silk’ from the upcoming album Pull the Sky Inside which we be released May 17th. An accompanying video for ‘Silk’ by Dermot Lynskey was also released.

Discussing “Silk”, Culloty offers, “This song is musically one of the happiest I've ever written, but lyrically it's bitter. It was written in response to the feeling of having made it through 2020 - which is fading in memory now, but was fresh and raw at the time - and having seen the tumult and hope and passion, and brief flames of political optimism give way to a reassertion of the status quo.

Living in the Bay Area it seemed like it was all being invented in front of me, from political rallies in Richmond to canvassing in the Mission, giving way to the summer's marches against police violence and eventually, the election. I didn't set out to write a song about that feeling, but it made its way into the album nonetheless.” You can listen now to ‘Silk’ on all streaming platforms.
