Sound
Stylistically, this EP reflects a more experimental side to Foreman's songwriting. Whereas the Fall EP displayed a more straightforward approach musically, experimentation on Winter is much more evident. "White As Snow" has a more eastern, oriental sound, while "In Love" carries a near-mantric feel—both new concepts in Foreman's music. The feel of the album is indeed much more 'wintry', reflecting the dead of wintertime.

Famous quotes containing the word sound:
“The mastery of one’s phonemes may be compared to the violinist’s mastery of fingering. The violin string lends itself to a continuous gradation of tones, but the musician learns the discrete intervals at which to stop the string in order to play the conventional notes. We sound our phonemes like poor violinists, approximating each time to a fancied norm, and we receive our neighbor’s renderings indulgently, mentally rectifying the more glaring inaccuracies.”
—W.V. Quine (b. 1908)
“A soldier firm and sound of heart.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“We can say that the sound is the primary object of the act of hearing, and that the act of hearing itself is the secondary object.”
—Franz Clemens Brentano (1838–1917)
