Description
Six years have passed since Volt quit the busking circuit of her native Brussels for the heady throb of New Orleans, where she made her first ripples as the livewire frontwoman of local heroes Mama's Boys. That hook-up led to Volt's acclaimed debut album Let The Demons Out (declared "an irresistible force" by Classic Rock) and to Volt's next stepping stone, to the hill country of Coldwater, Mississippi, for sessions with the Southern state's Cody Dickinson, Watermelon Slim and Cedric Burnside on 2019's Mississippi Blend. That album saw Volt dubbed "a natural-born star" by Henry Yates (NME, Classic Rock, The Guardian) and broke into the Billboard Blues Chart Top 3 on three separate occasions.
With its addictive beat and ghostly alt-gospel vocals, title track Shout Sister Shout! demands to be heard. "It's a song encouraging women to speak loud for what they deserve," she says. "Fight back, stare back, scream back."
Ghalia Volt has done exactly that, returning from the wilderness with the album of her career and the songs that will ignite venues across the globe. "Right now," she says, "I'm ready to jump back into a band, play these new songs live and run all around the stage..."
Description
"Going to the desert to record Shout Sister Shout! with David Catching was something unique," says the acclaimed Belgian singer-songwriter of her latest album that adds its own thumbprint to the Rancho De La Luna legend. "I have so many memories. Being on top of the hills facing the Joshua Tree Park. The stars, the moon, the coyote howls, the old vintage car that sat in front of the studio. And then, the history of Rancho De La Luna and all the rock 'n' roll neighbours. You just never know who's gonna push the door..."
Every Cloud kicks off like a road movie soundtrack, its jutting lick and battle cry vocal interrupted by a woozy organ freakout. Insomnia is a trip, its slow-burn psychedelia swirling from the speakers. The seething Hell Is Not Gonna Deal With You finds Volt spitting venom onto the mic and studio drummer Danny Frankel practically battering holes in his kit.
