To create a full-length 10-track LP, four bonus tracks have been added to the
Ultimatum EP which is a spare six-song snapshot of the oblique and poetic-minded
side of astounding songwriter and Winters bandleader John Roderick.
At times sparse, at times warmly lush, this collection of songs is always
intensely beautiful, stretching from simple vocal-and-guitar folk balladry to
orchestral grandeur to band-driven electro psych-pop and largely leaving aside
the guitar pop rave-ups with which Roderick is equally comfortable. Even without
the bonus tracks, Ultimatum EP stands on its own as a great record from a band
that has already set a high standard for themselves.
The fourth The Long Winters vinyl release is the 2005 "Ultimatum EP" with 4
never before released bonus tracks - outtakes from both the "Ultimatum" and
"Putting the Days to Bed" recording sessions.
