The single’s release was accompanied by the announcement of their debut album Awakening, set for April 3, 2026. Leading up to this reveal, the band shared cryptic visual and sonic teasers on social media.
“Ten years in the shadows, now come to light as ‘Awakening’ arrives April 3, 2026.
The first ritual, ‘Broken Lines’, is already calling.”
In addition to the album release, Winterlvst is also preparing a special presentation at the Théâtre Sainte-Catherine in Montreal, where they will participate in a joint event with author Martine Bourque. The event will combine a literary reading with a musical performance by the project, expanding its scope to a multidisciplinary approach.
The group's formation and aesthetic, even described with an ironic touch as "capes optional", points to a broader conceptual exploration within the alternative scene, integrating visual, narrative and sound elements.
