WINTER FAMILY - Red Sugar

Format: CD Label & Cat.Number: Sub Rosa SR315 Release Year: 2011 Note: re-discovered early album by the male-female duo from Brooklyn, NY => using organ drones and sparse instrumental sounds (piano) etc. plus spoken word lyrics, they create a pretty unique atmosphere, between complete tenderness and deepest melancholy.. BACK IN STOCK Price (incl. 19% VAT): €13.00 More Info "Second long awaited album by duo Ruth Rosenthal and Xavier Klaine, actually based in Brooklyn. A rare and unique audio worldview expressed by the singular approach of Ruth Rosenthal (voice) and Xavier Klaine (harmonium, organ etc..). From the first bares of Searching Donkeys this new album creates a glowering and intense atmospheric...part nightmare, part uplifting dreamscape. It permeates and builds into a compelling whole. a reference point might be some of the output of Constellation records - indeed GYBEs Norsola Johnson plays on this record.. However it is doubtful whether any of those artists ever produced anything to match the taut tension of the title track Red Sugar..an hymn to absence. The ambition of Winter Family is evident on the expansive, orchestral epic dancing in the sun..crank your speakers, sit back and open your mind.. it WILL blow you away." [label info] www.subrosa.net
