It’s no easy thing to sustain a band for more than 20 years. To come together and nurture an artistic project across two decades is a statement of belief: in oneself, in one’s bandmates, in the profound connections produced by the creative process, and in the richness of the world around us—since all art is a result ofhaving noticed what it feels like to live here, and the drive to make sense of that feeling. Canadian indie-rock veterans Wintersleep belong to this group of artists. At this stage in their career, the celebrated band’s five members—principal vocalist and guitarist Paul Murphy, guitarist Tim D’Eon, keyboardist Jon Samuel, bassist Chris Bell, and drummer Loel Campbell—are possessed of a deep gratitude and humility that accompany any creatives who get to make a life-long go of making art with the people they love. But there are still wonderful mysteries and shadowy corners of experience that they have yet to uncover.With seven critically acclaimed full-length records behind them, and six years passed since their 2019 LP In The Land Of, Wintersleep are stirring again. Wishing Moon, the band’s eighth album, will arrive on March 27th, 2026 via Dine Alone. Recorded at producer Nicolas Vernhes’ studio in the Mojave Desert near Pioneertown, the collection of 13 songs evidences a renewed vitality and energy: Theband’s branches of prog-, indie-, folk-, and alternative-rock are in full bloom, stretching skyward with grateful, open, curious hearts. Wintersleep will tour Wishing Moonthroughout 2026, and they hope to see you at the show—it’s only by coming together,by still trying, and still believing, that any of this works.
