CD incl. Bonustrack "NINA" Winter Family is a duo made up of Ruth Rosenthal and Xavier Klaine. They met in Jaffa in 2004.

Their dark, saturated and dense music is described as "death swing", "weird wave" or "funeral pop".

Their second album Red Sugar (Alt. Vinyl / Sub Rosa - 2011) was highly praised by critics (The Village Voice, Libération, Haaretz, Pitchfork...).

After touring all over the world with their theatrical documentary Jerusalem Cast Lead - Hallucinatory trip in an emotional dictatorship, they moved to Flatbush, Brooklyn, where they started writing their new album, South From Here, to be released on February 3rd.

Their building was continually shaken by block parties, and the sound of trap music's producers that composed and party on all floors.

Community parades and helicopters are frequent and they systematically capture all these sounds some are found in this new album.

Recorded at Tel Aviv, Ruth's lyrics attempt to translate the blindness into which Israeli society is definitively sinking.

The result of this long and painful process is a mixture of pessimism and acceptance they summarize with these words: «Life is Beautiful»
