**Steve Von Till** **Six Organs of Admittance** Physically enveloping and forebodingly beautiful, drawing on the animistic spirit of the natural world, Steve Von Till announces his seventh solo LP, arriving May 16 via Neurot Recordings. Ploughing a different furrow, \*Alone in a World of Wounds\* is an album of sweeping, gothic-tinged Americana, tripped-out drones, world-weary vocal melodies, and slowly unfurling cello arrangements. Initially inspired by the harmonic resonance of piano and synths, and his long-standing love of ambient music, it follows 2021’s \*No Wilderness Deep Enough\* in a more reflective, immersive direction. Opening up his voice in ways he hasn’t before, the album emerged through intuitive improvisations. “The complex overtones of upright piano and synthesisers really inspired me to sing out more, to seek out implied harmonies, and to find unique approaches within the limitations of my voice,” he says. “It is the transcendent nature of music—the cathartic process where I can leave everything behind and become one with sound. When you allow yourself to go beyond the ordinary, you might be fortunate enough to find a moment where you are creating in alignment with the flow of the river of the universe.” The search for deeper connection, the sorrow of our separation from the natural world, and a reliance on gut-level intuition are central to Von Till’s creative process. The album was recorded primarily at his barn studio in Idaho and mixed at Circular Ruin in Brooklyn with producer Randall Dunn, known for work with Jóhann Jóhannsson, Sunn O))), Earth, and Jim Jarmusch. The album artwork comes from Spokane-based photographer Brian Deemy, whose colloidal wet plate “tintype” process complements Von Till’s ancient, grounded aesthetic and his aim to reimagine the relationship between the human and more-than-human world. “I often wonder where the psychological break was that led to the delusion that we have dominion over the natural world—reducing it to something that exists solely for our benefit. I believe that disconnect is at the root of many of our problems, in society, in relationships, and within ourselves. It always comes back to the need for a conscious shift—to understand that we are part of a living, animate earth. The rivers, the mountains, the weather—they are part of us, and we are part of them. We are wild things, but we’ve forgotten. Without that shift in consciousness, we’re in trouble. That’s the overarching theme—and looking back, it’s what I’ve always been singing about.”
