Son Of The Velvet Rat
Son Of The Velvet Rat
SotVR ist das Alter Ego des österreichischen Songwriters Georg Altziebler. Zumeist gemeinsam mit seiner Frau Heike Binder hat Altziebler, sieben – von der Kritik in Europa und den USA gefeierte – Alben veröffentlicht. Kollaborationen mit Größen der Americana-Szene wie Joe Henry, Lucinda Williams, Ken Coomer (Ex-Wilco) oder Victoria Williams belegen SotVR’s internationalen Ruf.
Am 22. März 2024 erschien SotVRs neues Album „Ghost Ranch“ auf Fluff & Gravy Records/Portland, OR. Das Album wurde im Red Barn Recorders-Studio in Morongo Valley in der kalifornischen Wüste eingespielt. Mitgewirkt haben – unter anderen – so illustre Gäste wie Marc Ribot an der Gitarre, Jolie Holland als Back-up-Sängerin und an der Violine oder Jay Bellerose am Schlagzeug. Nichtsdestotrotz ist die Instrumentierung so sparsam und transparent wie nie zuvor bei SotVR. Der Sound mag vorder-gründig “amerikanisch” klingen, die Lieder selbst entziehen sich geographischen Zuordnungen.
The album title “Ghost Ranch” does not refer to a place, but a state of off-time falling. They are sketches on the way, songs from the perspective behind the windshield, when the gaze wanders and the soul has no goal. This new album has a sad magic overall that Hank Williams might mean when he says “the silence of a falling star”. I hear the record again and again. And then again.
