Winter Family - Searching Donkeys (by winterfamily)
New Winter Family album (Ruth Rosenthal and Xavier Klaine from Brooklyn) on the cult Belgium label Sub Rosa, really caught me off guard. Transcendent stuff.
“Mournful and melancholic, haunting and ethereal, just check out the opening track, the oddly named "Searching Donkeys”, with its thick layered minor key organ, the sound rich and lustrous, Rosenthal’s vocals settled down in the mix, her mysterious intonations peppered with brief bits of proper singing, lush little bits of harmonized vocalizing, the sound almost chorale, perfectly matching the ever intensifying music, the vibe strangely liturgical.“ Aquarius
