Winter McQuinn & Acacia Pip

Yampy Promotions Presents Winter McQuinn & Acacia Pip + guests

Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, indie folk artists Winter McQuinn (Sunfruits, jade imagine) and Acacia Pip (PINCH POINTS, Slush) are excited to announce their debut tour of UK and Europe in March 2025. The long-time collaborators will be playing 7 dates to bring in the spring, performing music from the pair's recent split EP, as well as material from their respective solo projects. With their emotive yet catchy pastoral folk and slacker indie, Winter McQuinn and Acacia Pip will have you both transfixed and moved. This will be the first time the pair have toured internationally as solo artists, after extensive European touring with other bands over the past few years.

In November 2024 Winter McQuinn and Acacia Pip released the collaborative split EP Recently I’ve Been Missing The Colour Green. The 6-track EP explores the pair’s growing appreciation for the softer side of pastoral folk, indie rock and emotionally inclined songwriting styles. Recorded primarily on 2” tape in their home studio, the EP exudes a warm, cosy feel that complements its vulnerable lyrics and delicate melodies. “These six songs deliver a winning combo of sun-blissed hooky pop and sharp observations, warm melodies and slacker cool” – Camilla Aisa (Shindig Magazine).

Winter McQuinn’s solo music explores psychedelic country and folk rippling with a free-ness similar to Nick Drake, Syd Barrett, Kevin Ayers and more modern 70s soft rock purveyors like Michael Rault and Drugdealer. His 2021 debut album ‘A Rabble Of Bees’ marked the beginning of McQuinn’s solo wanderings, while his 2024 sophomore album ‘Move To The Trees’ further honed his craft, with a series of anthems for the future, settled in a post psych folk and 70s imbued soft rock energy.

Both received broad acclaim, including ‘Move To The Trees’ being featured in Rolling Stone Australia and KEXP’s ‘Best Of’ lists for 2024. For Acacia Pip, Recently I’ve Been Missing The Colour Green marks the debut release under her new solo moniker, with plans for much more in 2025.
