Synopsis

Album Description
SON OF THE VELVET RAT is the solo project of the Austrian-based singer/songwriter Georg Altziebler . Formed in 2000 (together with Robert Kres on violin and harmonium) as an experimental reaction to the predominance of angst-ridden testosterone rock, Son of the Velvet Rat essentially filters the dark romanticism of Leonard Cohen and Nick Drake through the pop songcraft and the aesthetics of 60-bpm, lo-fi indie rock. "BY MY SIDE", the first full-length release, features minimalist songs layered with brooding vocals, melancholic orchestrations and poetic lyrics that are laced with recurring themes of alienation, failed romance and loneliness.
