Winter Family ‘On Beautiful Days’ new album + tour 2024

‘On Beautiful Days’ is Winter Family‘s 4th album. It tells a lot of stories; that of the musicians themselves and their loved ones, those of their territories, of their life in Jerusalem, Paris or Lorraine; that of women, ‘witches’, conspiracy myths; that of capitalist and colonialist Europe; that of the blindness and violence of Israeli society and the indoctrination of its population; that of the occupation of Palestine; that of eternal lockdown and a laboratory rat; and maybe yours, too.

We hear layers of pump organs and harmoniums, an old piano, distortions and celestial white noise, sirens – the sound of marching boots – breathing during sleep – stun grenades at checkpoint 56 in Hebron recorded by Xavier, the flows of Saralei‘s flutes, beats played on an iPhone and Ruth‘s voice.

We dive into all these contemporary stories haunted by History, feeling of a leap into the void, a state of dissociation or a feeling of liberation.
