about
Winter Family is a duo from Jerusalem and Paris. Ruth Rosenthal & Xavier Klaine met in Jaffa on 2004 and live and work together since. Xavier develops layers of folk drones with his philicorda, harmoniums, a piano, while Ruth Rosenthal chants her poems and plays the drums into a mystic universe filled with political sadness and dark romanticism. Together they might depress you seriously. They have been recording and playing live in clubs, theaters & churches around Europe and Israel. and worked with many choreographers, filmmakers, photographers and visual artists.
Their debut album was out on 2007 at Subrosa was followed by a LP version on 2008 at Marienbad. And was well received by critics.
Winter Family currently resides in Crown Heights, the Haitian neighborhood of Brooklyn. They record their third salsa album and complete the english version of 'Jerusalem Cast Lead’ a documentary theater performance (the french version was performed for the first time at 104 in paris on june 2011 and won the Jury Prize of Impatience Festival).
'Red Sugar' was released in June 2011 on a double LP version at Altvinyl (Newcastle). The CD version is available worldwilde on Sub Rosa (Bruxelles) and on Ici d’Ailleurs in France.
Red Sugar is our second album.
Four years have passed since the first.
Red Sugar is the apocalyptic report of four years of a group, a couple, a family, friendships and farewells.
This album combines the two worlds that we have lived through during this time. The world around, saturated, incarnated by Jerusalem, the city that is sick by his men. And the other world, a family, the birth of a daughter and isolation in a farm where donkeys proudly vantilate the valley.
Some friends joined us here and there: Norsola Johnson (Gospeed You Black Emperor!) Cello, Olive Robert (Women & Children) cymbals, Olivier Demeaux (Cheveu) organ, Pepe Perola (Olivier de St Max) to the snaredrum, Sylvain Favre (Chkrr) Violin Fabien Lehalle on the bass and beyond.
'Red Sugar', 12 tracks, 69 minutes of blood and joy, was recorded and mixed at TCI of Paris, at Jean Rochereau’s farm (les Ruelles) in the Streets in Jerusalem (field recordings) at St Martin de Maxéville at Omaha Beach and elsewhere between 2007 and 2010. It was mastered by Patrick Klem Chandler, Arizona. The artwork is by Franz Vesolt.
