The Declining Winter

**The Declining Winter** is a British ambient/post-rock project rooted in the creative vision of multi-instrumentalist Richard Adams, best known as a founding member of the influential Leeds-based band Hood. Emerging in the mid-2000s as a solo venture, the project evolved into a collaborative endeavor blending hazy folk textures, shimmering electronics, and field recordings. Their sound—often described as "rural psychedelia"—evokes misty landscapes and introspective moods, channeling nostalgia through warm tape loops, delicate guitar work, and whispered vocals.

Over the years, The Declining Winter has released music via labels like Home Assembly Music and Morr Music, with recent albums such as *Really Early, Really Late* (2023) and *Scenes from the Back Bedroom Window* (2021) refining their signature blend of lo-fi intimacy and expansive atmospherics. Their work remains a cozy, autumnal companion for fans of acts like Sigur Rós, Talk Talk, or Adams’ own Hood, offering a quiet but deeply felt exploration of memory and place.
