Paste Magazine announce Kendl Winter’s Stumbler’s Business with “Solitude”
Kendl Winter’s new solo album is a stark folk affair, a natural extension of the work her and Palmer T. Lee have created over the past half decade as The Lowest Pair.

Chris West, a bright-eyed guitarist from Bermuda, sent back the song the following day in finished form. Upon meeting in person, they discovered their musical—and personal—bond was eerily close; there was never a discussion of forming a band, never a conscious choice, it just happened, fueled by a sheer desire, a necessity to pursue what felt right.
