Superpitcher made his first appearance on Kompakt's Total 2 compilation album in 2000 with the song "Shadows". In 2001, he contributed a track to Kompakt's first Speicher 12" and released Heroin, a three-track 12" with three different sounds; "Tomorrow" was later included on that year's Total 3. On 2002's Total 4 there was another track by Schaufler, an electro-pop cover of Brian Eno's "Baby's on Fire". Soon after that, Schaufler released his second 12", Yesterday, which featured re-workings of the songs "Tomorrow" and "Heroin". He also made another appearance that year on Kompakt's fourth Speicher 12".
Since stepping out, Schaufler has done steady remixing work for the likes of Dntel, Carsten Jost and several others. In early 2004, Superpitcher released his debut album Here Comes Love. A year later, he released a mix album for Kompakt called Today.
Superpitcher and Michael Mayer have collaborated under the pseudonym Supermayer. Their debut album, Save The World, was released in 2007.
Schaufler's latest album as Superpitcher, Kilimanjaro, was released in 2010.
Country Boy
Superpitcher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am a country boy, and got no memories
I am a country boy, so many enemies
I am a country boy, and there's so many
I am a country boy, and got blood (on) my teeth
I am a country boy, and got no memories
I am a country boy, so many enemies
I am a country boy, and got blood (on) my teeth
I am a country boy, and got no memories
I am a country boy, so many enemies
I am a country boy, and there's so many
Black sheep, black sheep
Black sheep, black sheep
Black sheep, black sheep
Of the family
Black sheep, black sheep
Of the family
Black sheep, black sheep
Of the family...
Of the family

The lyrics to Superpitcher's "Country Boy" paint a picture of a person who identifies with their rural roots ("country boy") but has experienced conflict and trauma in their life. The repetition of the same four lines throughout the song puts emphasis on the struggle this person is facing. The opening line, "I am a country boy, and got blood (on) my teeth," is a metaphor that suggests a violent upbringing or a constant sense of struggle in the present. The second line, "I am a country boy, and got no memories," could be interpreted as a result of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), where the person has blocked out traumatic events from their past. The third line, "I am a country boy, so many enemies," highlights the sense of isolation this person feels, suggesting that they have experienced rejection or betrayal from others. The final line, "And there's so many," amplifies that feeling of overwhelming loneliness.
The repetition of the phrase "black sheep" towards the end of the song adds another layer of interpretation to the lyrics. Being considered the "black sheep" of a family implies that the person feels like an outsider or that they don't fit in with their chosen community. It could also be interpreted as a nod to the struggles of LGBTQ+ people who often feel like "black sheep" within their own families and communities.
