About The Album

"May I Rise?" Back Album Cover - Sietch Ramshackle

Sietch explains his new album:

 The name of my album is "May I Rise?"  It is a ten track album about  Damage.  Each song is a personal story of mine or someone who changed my  life. 


I had several goals in regards to this project.

First, I  wanted to record songs...obviously.  Many of these songs have traveled  with me in this life since I was a kid.  After the Circling Birds parted  ways and Echospill disbanded, I decided to take the time to really  focus on these soul songs.

This is an album about damage.  All  kinds by all people.  Physical, spiritual and psychological.  Addiction,  societal expectations, guilt and remorse.  Each song is a story that in  one way or another...for good or ill...leads towards a damage that  stays with us in the dark recesses of our souls.


I also wanted to  pay homage to genre...the genres that influenced me.  So, each song on  this project is written in a style that reflects my favorite parts of  different musical genres...while remaining new, fresh and my own.   Somebody once told me that song shouldn't change drastically on an  album...so I decided to have every song change drastically on the album.   There is punk, rock, world music, jazz, blues, 80's prog and on and on  and on.


Secondly, since I was approaching this project as a solo  artist I wanted to include many of the local artists who had influenced  and changed me musically.  Indianapolis has always had and still has  such a diverse and incredible wealth of talent.  It has always killed me  that we have such an unrewarding music scene.  The musicians and fans  are great...don't get me wrong...but there is a lack of energy that has  always prohibited any type of real growth as a scene.  I will name the  artists that worked on the project at release but I picked certain  artists for certain songs to highlight their own personal artistry to  pepper on my music.  I think it turned out wonderfully.  As a bonus, I  was able to share this creative trip with my kids who have always  accepted their Twitchy, Irish pirate pop.  They even helped me with a  music video.  Their support makes all of it worthwhile as I have never  felt the need to be normal for them.


Lastly, I wanted to record  the process so non-musicians could see just how back breaking and joyous  the process of performing, recording and finishing a music project  truly is.  I wanted to involve anyone who wanted to follow the process  to share that love of the creative process.  A lot of artists announce  and promote and commercialize...I wanted to just share.  Open up my  journey and have lots of shitz and gigglez with all of the amazing  people I have met in this life.  To that, I hope I wasn't too annoying  with all of my posts...and that shitz and gigglez were indeed had by  all.


Alrighty, that's about all.  Look for it everywhere.  On CD, Vinyl, digital and  streaming.  I will be gigging out again after Jan. 1st so that is  exciting.

Much love, Space Rangers.  I appreciate each and every  one of you who has helped, supported and shared the misfit life with me.   BzZzzZzzZzzt...

    He has  opened for Faster Pussy Cat, Shawn James, We Are The Asteroid, All the  Locals, Locust  Grove, American Bombshell, Crystal Lady, Taylor Phelan,  Damsel and  Distress and many, many, many others.  He performed with  Indianapolis cover bands Naptown Revue and Soulrocker.
