STEBACH - 2012 Ride After Burnin


Stebach is a municipality in the district of Neuwied, in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. That one piece of information is all that is offered on Wickipedia, and I've found even less about the enigmatic singer/songwriter who goes by the name. Though I don't know his nationality I'm pretty certain English is not his native tongue. A lovely track named "Back to Sweden" would suggest that Stebach is a Swede, and indeed there does seem to be a Danish lilt to his voice. Most of his songs are simple pieces that revolve around his subtle guitar work and catchy vocal style. He plays a lot of blues type stuff, too. Probably an acquired taste for most, I'm beginning to quite enjoy it. Then he also uses a drum machine and what sounds like an 8-track (or maybe even a 4-track) recorder. On these songs he really cuts loose.
