about

In this important and wonderful new recording, Isabel Frey and Esther Wratschko take a deep and profound dive into the archival world of women’s unaccompanied traditional Yiddish singing. They bring the songs effortlessly into the present, suffusing them with their own contemporary soundscape and sensibility, yet fully embracing the essence of traditional style. The synchronicity of their singing is extraordinary. Wratschko and Frey express the musical pulses and gestures, the ebb and flow of the songs as one. It is a sheer pleasure to hear two voices interwoven so seamlessly and so beautifully.
— Ethel Raim, NYC, August 2022

One of my favourite musical discoveries in a while. These musicians are seriously talented. I can’t help imagining that there would have been a whole significant subculture of Yiddish psych rock like this in a different, kinder universe. For now, this is a window into that world that might have been. And I love every second of it. Audrey

This is a richly layered composition- the music is wonderful- and the texts really work well with it. It feels like it's pushing Yiddish music forward while staying connected to the past. I don’t have the gift of prophecy so I can’t predict the future- but I would not be surprised if years from now this will cunt among the classics of the repertoire of Yiddish music. Shamma Boyarin
