Ochs has been releasing music since his 2010 debut, Raw Love Songs and since then has released eight full-length albums, including two (Heavy Kingdom & Freedom Conspiracy) with Scott ‘Wino’ Weinrich (Saint Vitus, The Obsessed), as well as countless guest appearances and work with others such as Trialogos and more. Whether solo, or in collaboration with others, Ochs’ music is both expressive and emotive. Doomy folk, for the lack of a better description, that has evolved into a more full band, rock infused sound over the years. But here with Troubadour, Ochs has returned to the stripped down singer-songwriter form that served him well on his debut as well as 2013’s Black Happy.
Discussing the approach towards writing and recording this new album, Ochs states, “I had a strong desire to create an album with the same minimal approach as “Raw Love Songs” and“Black Happy”, but with themes and vibes that reflect my current experiences”. Ochs continues, saying, “This is why I wanted to create an album that contrasts with the current trend of overwhelming expression and aesthetics – almost like an anti-record.” Yet, despite this obvious juxtoposition, with Toubadour, Ochs has somehow delivered a refined and polished and downright optimistic album that certainly may be a career defining release.
