“Marvelously slanted and enchated pop.” - Boston Globe
“A Fantastic example of an amazing, talented guy who seems to have no limits to what he can do.” - Music Savage
“Kurt von Stetten crafts a musical wonder with his latest, Pyramid.” - American Chronicle
December 13, 2011 marks the release of Kurt von Stetten’s (The Longwalls) sixth full-length solo album, Cyclops, through Static Motor Recordings. Diverging from the pop-centric sound of his last release Pyramids, the eclectic and intricate garage rock on Cyclops deals with fantasy and the fever of awesome ideas; everything from war to fashion. As with each of his releases, he relies on minimal story telling and the power of simple song structure.
Von Stetten began experimenting with music and making recordings in Boston in the summer of 1996. By that time, he had fronted the Drama Queens and was (and is still) the drummer for Americana popsmiths The Longwalls. It’s during this time that Kurt began to experience terrible bouts of human-repelling bromhidrosis, forcing him to record alone in his bedroom. For a period of 10 years Kurt retreated to his home studio and learned how to play guitar and drums by recording himself over and over again. After much-heralded scientific breakthroughs by Mennen™ in 2006 and Kurt’s indoctrination of their Speed Stick into his daily routine, he gained confidence and began releasing his recordings as albums.
Kurt has released a full-length album every year for the last six years.
