Winnetka Bowling League began working on their new EP long before the ongoing health crisis and long before 2020 turned so...2020.

Now, the new project, titled Congratulations, is here in full. And while the EP is largely bright and upbeat, that's perhaps what makes it so great, a welcome dose of good cheer and optimism in the middle of troubled waters.

“We were fortunate enough to record this EP and play these songs on tour right up until the world stopped worlding," says frontman Matthew Koma. "Overly hopeful titles considering the climate, but hopefully it'll play even better in 2021."

Because the pandemic is only temporary, it's a given Congratulations will definitely outlast this year and beyond. But for now, it's the perfect addition to your daily soundtrack.
