Album Info

The long awaited second album of the Viennese extraordinary artist Gustav aka Eva Jantschitsch is finished! For many people Gustav's critically acclaimed debut "Rettet die Wale ( save the whales ) was nothing more than rescuing the whole protest song genre. Besides the media artist and laptop-songwriter Gustav all of a sudden has become a new icon of the feminist music-scene and - concerning the movement of alter-globalization - the conscience of her generation. In 2005 Gustav wins the prize of the Austrian Music Industry called Amadeus Award. At the peak of her success she consequently avoids further public appearances as a solo artist and concentrates on remittance work and a bunch of other quite different side projects, recently the queer burlesque theatre piece Orlanding The Dominant. The cross-gender alias Gustav represents a political thinking and basically media critical artist. The music sounds extremely ambivalent: catchy pop songs enter geeky la la laptop land and get infiltrated with some subversive aesthetic & political strategies: reinterpretation, exaggeration, ambiguity. All double layered by Gustavs unique voice. Gustav thinks that her new album Verlass die Stadt has gotten darker - politically and emotionally - than her debut. But thats exactly what you dont recognize in the first time. What makes the earnest of her music so comfortable is an easiness which comes together with a great sense of humour. Gustavs imagination combined with her pue nonchalance is simply amazing and leaves anybody in astonishment. Her songs are like musical roller coaster rides through all kind of possible and impossible genres: experimental laptop sound, but also traditional Austrian brass music, Schlager as well as Sicilian mandolins. Gustav plays with all the clichés and extravagance of each different style - and leads the listener often to the garden path/leaves the listener in confusion. Theres an enormous gap between the cozy appeal of her music and the topics of the songs. Cause: the situation is definitely serious and theres really NO reason to tell anybody: all clear. Cause it isnt. Not at all. Behind Gustav Eva Jantschitsch lives and works in Vienna as an artist. She composes music for theater, movies and iPods. Gustav produces songs on the laptop, plays all kinds of instruments and "sings with the sort of inimitable power you cannot muster up any resistance to". With an origin in Vienna, Gustav's tunes are in various languages, sometimes English, sometimes French, sometimes German - " but the appeal ist completely universelle". Gustav performs solo shows - but sometimes also together with Oliver Stotz (Fender) and Elise Mory (Bösendorfer). Gustav will present her new album live for the first time ever at Donaufestivals in Krems. Some of the songs together with the traditional brass band Dürnstein! An extensive Gustav German tour follows up in May.

It was written in 2001 and released on a Sampler of the cuntstunt-zine. The Song originally refered to the new governance in Austria. The political message is a bit out-of-date, but I think that the song is still relevant. So I just switched "Schüssel" (the former chancelor) with "Schlüssel" (keys). Neulich im Kanal (analogous : recently on telly) I smoked some weed watching the Saturday night show "Wetten, dass..?". Then I had this vision... Total Quality Woman The lyrics were strongly influenced by Faith Wilding and deals with The Economy of Feminized Maintenance Work. ifall In first place - this is a cut-up montage. Alles renkt sich wieder ein (analogous: everything will be alright) The thing that always interested me about this song, was the challenge to combine catholic and apocalyptic pictures (some quotes are taken from the bible) with a relatively simple music. The fascinating thing about Schlager is that you feel comfortable and like home from the very beginning. I mean, there's nothing special to expect neither from the music nor from the lyrics: nothing irritating, you can sing along instantly. Well, why brass music: I played the violin in secondary modern school. Some friends of mine - mostly those, who played some brass-instruments - started to play in local traditional brass bands (just like Christian Selinger, who adapted the arrangement of "Alles Renkt Sich Wieder Ein" for an Austrian brass band). They started with regional marching songs - in Austria all of these bands are very conservative. I just tried to take this historical sound body just to confront it with lyrics of a style that is used in national hymns or biblical themes. At The Rivers Edge No fences, no borders, no nation Verlass die Stadt (analogous: leave the city) Contemporary architecture is one of our greatest enemies, isnt it? MP Kopflos - the guest-singer on this track - is a member of the band "Glutamat". (I sometimes support them on the violin when they do some concerts). Soldatin oder Veteran (analogous: female soldier or veteran) Happy Birthday I tried to write a birthday song because I didn`t want to listen to all this happy peppy crap all the time when I attend birthday partys.
