Tom Rogerson announces new album, Retreat To Bliss
completemusicupdate.comTom Rogerson has announced that he will release new album ‘Retreat To Bliss’ in March. The record is his first since 2017, and his first fully solo record, his last album – ‘Finding Shore’ – being a collaboration with Brian Eno.A former member of Three Trapped Tigers, Rogerson wrote ‘Retreat To Bliss’ following a series of life changes, including moving back to Suffolk, where he grew up, from Berlin.
The songs that make up the album were written in a church next to his parents’ house.“All my life, the piano has been my constant companion, my confessor, my best friend, and my worst enemy”, he says. “The last few years have brought some struggle, some joy, and a lot of change.
My response has been to retreat to what I trust the most: the piano, my voice, and the landscape I grew up in. That’s how the album got its title, and how I came to be ready finally to release a solo record”.“I was in the middle of a few months where lots of big life events were happening and I wrote lots of things very quickly, having spent years struggling to do anything at all”, he adds.
