THE NAME OF THE GHOST IS HOME“It's Americana in the sense that America is a place of menace, hybrid vigor and unending strangeness.”
- Robert Duncan, CREEM Magazine
“If it were possible for Tom Waits, The Band and Syd Barrett to sire a musical love child, it might sound a lot like Drunken Prayer.”
- Coachella Valley Weekly
“The dissonant ambiguity is the point.”
- Americana Highways

Featuring the bewitching and gothic SON OF THE VELVET RAT (DE)
"Haunting folk noir melodies!"—PASTE MAGAZINE
Son of the Velvet Rat is the solo musical endeavor and masked identity of Georg Altziebler – sometimes shared with his wife, Heike Binder – who, having left their hometown of Graz, Austria and the cloistered safety of the Continent for the endless highway of America, finally settled along the edge of California's Mojave Desert in Joshua Tree in 2013.
The result is like some exotic desert fruit – equal parts bruised pulp and scarified skin, set off against the crepuscular glow of the violet horizon or blood pooled on the desert floor – all delivered in what accidental fan Lucinda Williams (guest on two tracks) calls Georg’s “great sexy-gravelly voice,” leavened by Heike’s translucent harmonies, like roses circling a tattooed heart.
