The Winstons are an Italian psychedelic power trio consisting of Roberto Dell'Era, Enrico Gabrielli, and Lino Gitto. Formed in 2016, the band functions as a supergroup of the Italian alternative scene, with members having worked with Afterhours and PJ Harvey.
Their sound is a meticulous and vibrant homage to the Canterbury Scene of the late 60s and early 70s, specifically referencing the whimsical, jazz-adjacent progressive rock of Soft Machine, Robert Wyatt, and Kevin Ayers. Beyond mere revivalism, the band incorporates elements of avant-garde jazz and 60s pop classicism. Their discography, including the standout albums 'The Winstons' and 'Smith', showcases a high level of technical virtuosity paired with a surrealist lyrical approach. They have gained significant critical respect for their live reinterpretations of Pink Floyd's early catalog, cementing their status as scholars of the psychedelic era. Their influence web connects the historical British underground to the modern European psych-rock resurgence.
