Winter Family

Winter Family is a duo formed by Israeli artist Ruth Rosenthal and French musician Xavier Klaine, who met in Jaffa in 2004. Rosenthal speaks and chants texts in Hebrew and English and plays drums and machines, while Klaine plays harmonium, piano and pipe organ. Their slow, droning songs have been released on Sub Rosa, Alt.vinyl and Ici d'Ailleurs, and the pair also make documentary theatre. Winter Family released its self-titled double album on Sub Rosa in 2007, followed by Red Sugar and South from Here (2017).
