WINTER FAMILY - CD RED SUGAR

Popis - RED SUGAR:
A rare and unique audio worldview expressed by the singular approach of Brooklyn based duo Ruth Rosenthal (spoken words) and Xavier Klaine (harmonium, organ etc..). From the first bares of searching donkeys this double 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 GYBE's 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..a spoken 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. As an entirety this album builds on previous releases on Marienbad and Sub Rosa and demonstrates that rarest of things..a unique voice..once heard never forgotten. Essential.
