Originally from New York, and now based in Nashville, Tennessee, Rob Burger is one of the most creative forces on today’s music scene. Throughout the last two decades, as an incredibly talented multi-instrumentalist, composer and arranger, Burger has amassed a body of work that encompasses film scores, founding chamber music collective Tin Hat Trio and various collaborations with artists like John Zorn, Laurie Anderson, Elvis Costello, Rufus Wainwright, Lou Reed, Lucinda Williams, Beth Orton and Iron & Wine, amongst many others. Burger has also made his name as a gifted solo artist and with his sublime new album, Marching With Feathers, arriving later this month, we are stoked to have him put together this beautiful and enthralling mix exploring the myriad influences at play in his music.

Rob Burger unveils second single, ‘Hotel for Saints’, from upcoming album Marching With Feathers

07 December 2021

Composer and multi-instrumentalist Rob Burger is as prolific as he is inventive, counting among his accomplishments various collaborations with artists like John Zorn, Laurie Anderson, Bill Frisell, Elvis Costello, Rufus Wainwright, Lou Reed, Lucinda Williams, Beth Orton and Iron & Wine, to name but a few. As a solo artist, Burger is gearing up to release Marching With Feathers, his new full-length album which follows 2019’s The Grid. “Where that album braided the joviality of mid-century exotica with the controlled exploration of krautrock and kosmische”, desribes the press release, “the new album Marching With Feathers further reveals Burger’s command of mood and texture without the need for stylized referentiality.”

Marching With Feathers will see the light of day on February 11th through on Western Vinyl and Burger had already enticed us with the opening track ‘Figurine’. Now he has shared a second beautiful single called ‘Hotel For Saints’. Listen to both below.
