The Declining Winter are a British band based in Leeds, led by Richard Adams, the co-founder of the Domino Records group, Hood.[1] The band features members of Fieldhead, Brave Timbers, Quack Quack and Gareth S. Brown.
They released their debut single "The Future Sound of Hip Hop Parts 1 & 2" on Misplaced Music in November 2007.[2] The record was unique as it is made of mostly recycled materials reflecting the band's keen interest in the environment.[3] This release was promptly followed up by a CD only remix project on Moteer, featuring mixes by Bracken, Epic 45, and The Boats amongst others;[4] and a their debut album Goodbye Minnesota released by Ireland's Rusted Rail imprint in May 2008.[5] In December 2008 they released a limited edition Remixes CD which came housed in recycled sleeves wrapped in Christmas paper.[6] In May 2009 they released a mini album Haunt the Upper Hallways on Home Assembly Music.[7] The four track cdr Scenes from the Back Bedroom Window was released on Secret Furry Hole [8] in November 2010.
