Wild Winter


Wild Winter is the fourth studio album by English duo Smoke Fairies, an alternative Winter/Christmas themed record, released in December 2014 on the Full Time Hobby label.

Background

Speaking about the album with NPR Music, the band said, "But it was interesting, because writing about the winter seemed to come pretty naturally to us, regardless of what was happening outside. There's so much to say about that time of year. It's an interesting combination — the way it was recorded, the time it was recorded, and the subject matter. I think it's produced something quite strange out of all of that."
Following the release, the band played a three-date UK tour in Bristol, Nottingham and London, showcasing the album.
The album was released in several formats, including CD, standard black vinyl and limited edition white vinyl, as well as digital download.
In December 2024, to commemorate its 10th anniversary, Wild Winter was reissued on the band's Year Seven Record label with revised artwork. The band played two concerts, in Hastings and London, to celebrate the event. The reissue was available on CD and translucent glitter 'snow globe blizzard' vinyl.
