Rolf Ebitsch- Biography
Now he’s out with a brand new album.
The sound of Rolf Ebitsch is compact and plausible, for example proofed with the single “Crush On You“. Great melodies and rhythms that carry away build the basis for elaborate arrangements and the guitar covers all facets from soft and melodic to aggressive outbreak. It is an uncomparable atmosphere that characterizes the music of Rolf Ebitsch.
In the studio area, the multi-instrumentalist, singer and songwriter Rolf Ebitsch worked together with well-known persons like Mirek Stiles or Paul Hicks from the famous Beatles studio Abbey Road – the latter being also a private engineer of Sir Paul McCartney. In addition to that, there were recordings at the big Miloco Studios London and at MSM Munich. In order to finish the recordings for the albums 'One' and 'The True Story', of course he also cooperated with Tony Cousins from the London Metropolis Studios who mostly works with Robbie Williams and Richard Ashcroft.
Rolf Ebitsch composed his new album all by himself and he also wrote all the lyrics and produced it. All twelve songs are intense and beautiful and of a quality which most albums are only flagged with one. He recorded his songs in the Whitehall Recording Studio, already visited by many musicians from England. The orchestral recordings have been made in England under direction of Jeremy Dickson. Were finished in the Metropolis Studios London.
On this album Rolf Ebitsch further developed his impressive and individual voice and also his qualities as a songwriter. He sings more courageous and at the same time more vulnerable than ever before and expands his room for melody and sound with enriched rhythms, empathic hooks and beautiful harmonies which range from the Beatles across the Waterboys to Frank Sinatra. That sounds fabulously sensual and spheric, and some of his strong melodies and poetic lyrics sound like remind of his idols John Lennon, Fish and Francis Dunnery.
Still everything about his music stays remarkably unique and nothing resembles anything that has been there yet. Rolf Ebitsch sings “Lost Magic“ so soft and pathetic as if it was he himself to deliver all sadness that exists in the world. It seems to be him again who reveals to be in love in “Crush on You“. And the redemptive perception of “Rescue Me“ seems to be of as much concern for every listener as many of his revealed emotions and so himself. The catchy tune of “Waterfall“ opposes so happily to the anger of “Judas“. Wishful “Wonderful Smile" & "A Satellite" is getting deep down inside and the pending sadness of “Heaven“ brings painful melancholy. Because he writes what he feels without censoring or questioning it he is capable to sing it in his open, honest and beautiful way.
„I am proud of this album“,reflects Rolf Ebitsch, „every song mirrors my soul and I turn my inside out. While recording the atmosphere in the studio was spiritual and I knew the direction each song would develop. And I just let my emotions and power flow“ Rolf Ebitsch explains, a blond working class guy from a small town.
He himself seems as rebellious and carrying away as his songs and his longitude to get and shout it all out is more than obvious. „I am producing an independent, ageless style. Rock’n’ Roll is an exciting medium to communicate, and I want to procure emotion and touch hearts with my lyrics and music.“ Rolf Ebitsch takes a sip of his beer, looks out the window and he seems to step into a different world. „What’s more important in the world than to make someone happy? And even if it is only for five minutes, when someone finds him- or herself in one of my songs.“ That is what seems to be his motivation, the wish to be giving something to other people by means of his music.
His statement to the new album is: „I carry the musical influences of my youth in me and mingle them with everyday life experience from all of us. Today people get back and reorient themselves to writing, the power of words and to real feeling.“
