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.

Między Jerusalem a Paryżem. Pieśni o kochankach padających sobie w objęcia, rodzinie szykującej się do obiadu, ptakach strzepujących krople wody ze swych skrzydeł...
"Red Sugar" to drugi album Winter Family (Ruth Rosenthal i Xavier Klaine). Akordeon, dzwonki, minimalistyczne pianino oraz refleksyjne teksty składają się na kompozycje, które raz przypominają marzenia senne, a raz koszmary. Melorecytacja Ruth wprowadza nieraz ironiczny humor, ale zawsze pada na niego cień, rozciągnięta między Paryżem a Jerozolimą. Muzyka dla fanów Matta Elliotta.
