Putting the Days to Bed


Putting the Days to Bed is the third full-length studio album by indie rock band the Long Winters. It was released in the US by Barsuk Records and distributed in Europe by Munich Records in 2006. The album title is a lyric from the album track "Hindsight".

Reception

Pitchfork described the album as " the masterful mark" but still "a solid effort—a step in a promising new direction" and "not so much power pop or even necessarily powerful pop—just powered up pop, all horns and echoes and toe-tapping parties", while Paste Magazine called it, "Roderick's strongest work to date".
Many reviews remark on Roderick's songwriting, calling him "a master storyteller", as well as the album's stylistic continuity despite the band's lineup changes. Keith Phipps, writing for the A.V. Club, said, "changing has meant growing into a band that's tougher to ignore than ever."
