My Heart Belongs to Cecilia Winter

«Jam the knife in deep and twist it once before you pull out. This way, the wound won‘t close and the guy bleeds to death.». Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage once offered this heartfelt piece of advice to his daughter in some movie of his, and the same goes for the songs by My Heart Belongs To Cecilia Winter. They get under your skin faster and deeper than you would like, take an unexpected turn and leave you with a gaping gash that bleeds nicely. Two years after their much acclaimed debut OUR LOVE WILL CUT THROUGH EVERYTHING, the Swiss trio serves up its noisy sophomore album. Intimacy and grandezza go hand in hand in a cosmos filled with such rare instruments as the autoharp, the celesta or a singing saw. If you need more words to describe MHBTCW‘s sound, maybe go for these: full of fervour, noise, intimacy, eccentricity, sweat and glamour. Shed all labels and come along for the ride: no one could care less about whether their music is considered post-indie, future folk or noise pop than the band itself. Founded in 2006, the Zurich-based trio quickly gained the reputation of being an irresistible and euphorizing live band, and stepped up from local phenomenon to international insider tip. In 2010, the band released their debut album in both Switzerland and Germany to plenty of media attention: «Our Love Will Cut Through Everything has the same implicitness as the debuts of Interpol or Death Cab for Cutie», claimed the Süddeutsche Zeitung. Die Zeit added: «One of the best, if not the ultimate Autumn record», and German music magazine VISIONS featured the song «Lights Out» on the sampler of their November issue. Subsequently, the band played more than 100 shows in Switzerland, Germany, France and Austria, including the prestigious festivals Popkomm Berlin (GER), Reeperbahnfestival Hamburg (GER), Paléo Festival Nyon (CH), Gurten Festival Bern (CH), Printemps de Bourges (FR), Bars en Trance Rennes (FR), Mama Paris (FR) and Waves Vienna (AT).
