Until the Ribbon Breaks

2012: Founding The group began as the solo project of Pete Lawrie Winfield, from Cardiff, Wales. Both his parents were musicians, and Winfield grew up to listening to artists such as Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, and Elton John. Winfield went to school to study film, but found he preferred music after he started making soundtracks for his own movies. On 26 January 2018, the band was featured on a video by the YouTube social experiment channel 'Yes Theory' regarding past alcoholism. On 23 February 2018, Until the Ribbon Breaks released its second studio album called Until the Ribbon Breaks. On 21 June 2024, six years after releasing their self titled second album, they released V I S I T O R to all streaming services. On 10 September 2025, the band released the single Cupid. This was their first project since their last studio album in 2024. ==Style==

The band "blends genres like electronic, pop, rock, and hip-hop, but it's all done with a sharp alternative edge," and Pitchfork Media has called Until the Ribbon Breaks "avant-R&B savants". The band often writes music in front of a projector, with Winfield stating; "For me, it just allows my mind to wander further than the confines of where it normally would. Silent moving images of nature, space, a busy street, whatever it maybe, take on a new sense of gravitas when soundtracked and vice versa. The music is given meaning by the image". Winfield has also stated that, "Lyrics, to me, are the most essential part of writing music. I always start with the music, and depending on how I feel and what mood the music is conveying, that gives me an idea of what kind of thing I should be saying over it". ==Members==
