Richard Aufrichtig (2019-Present)

Since 2019, Richard Aufrichtig has been releasing music under his own name.

The first record to emerge from this new period, Troubadour No. 1, was born of a collaboration with celebrated producer Josh Kaufman (Bonny Light Horseman, MUZZ, The Hold Steady, The War on Drugs), and recorded in his Brooklyn studio. The band includes Stuart Bogie (Angelique Kidjo, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings, Arcade Fire) and Ray Rizzo (early Drag City, Glen Hansard, Josh Ritter). Holly Miranda and Jeanna Phillips both lend their otherwordly vocals to the album. The album was mixed and mastered by D. James Goodwin at his Woodstock, NY Isokon studio.

Troubadour No. 1 was the focus of an issue of online magazine Off Your Radar and was featured on Sound Opinion’s Best of 2019 Episode.

Aufrichtig’s sophomore solo record, Perfume Cigarettes, also produced by Josh Kaufman, was released on July 31, 2020. Mixed by Erik Blood (Shabazz Palaces) and mastered by Rusty Santos (Animal Collective, Beach House).

2023 saw the release of two EPs of cover songs, and 2024 saw the release of the first record from the collaborative project Big Numbers. Aufrichtig’s third solo record of original material, tentatively titled Everybody On The Breeze, will see release in 2025.
