Review by Наталья Текстовик

The 2005 WinterSpring Sampler by Various is a collection of 14 tracks that showcase the best of indie rock and folk music from that era. The album features artists such as Iron & Wine, The Decemberists, and Bright Eyes, among others.

The overall sound of the album is laid-back and mellow, with acoustic guitars and soft vocals dominating most of the tracks. The lyrics are introspective and melancholic, reflecting the mood of winter and spring, which is the theme of the album.

One of the standout tracks is Iron & Wine's "Naked As We Came," which features Sam Beam's haunting vocals and fingerpicked guitar. The Decemberists' "The Engine Driver" is another standout, with its catchy melody and poetic lyrics.
