Description
British ex-pat, NYC resident, presents crafted, baroque, art rock tunes with garage, new wave and chamberpop tinges recalling Zombies, Left Banke and the Kinks. New Yorker Rogers lived his first 12 years of his life in Birmingham, which seems to have lent wry humour to his music - specifically this wondrous piece of elegiac glam rock (The Biba Crowd). It's a kind of musical equivalent to Jonathan Coe's The Rotter's Club. -The Word Magazine â€˜Porcelain worksâ€™ multiple sides of the fruitful â€˜60s/â€™70s flowering of rockâ€™s art pop culture, handling early â€˜70s guitar rock curling â€œThe Biba Crowd,â€? â€œDiamonds Amour,â€? and wry â€œTopping the World,â€? the James Williamson-Stooges-esque (yes!) â€œSeparate Walls,â€? and the Dylan-meets-Badfinger â€œLove With the Worldâ€? as fluently as baroque-stoked folk on â€œNothing Too Cleverâ€? or the piano plucky â€œLink to the Chain.â€? Like loves The Left Banke, Kinks, and Zombies, Rogers realizes that the R in A&R (repertoire!) matters as much as groovy tunes. Rogers never disappoints. -The Big Takeover
