British pianist and Three Trapped Tigers founder Tom Rogerson has announced the release of a new solo album called Retreat To Bliss which will be out on March 25th via Western Vinyl and follows 2017’s Finding Shore. We already shared “Oath“; “Chant” is the new excerpt.
Talking about the track, Rogerson said: ‘With this song, I’d made a conscious decision to write as minimally and simply as I could, after years of making lots of loud and complicated music. This was the first song with words I wrote, in an effort to express a lot of things that had been on my mind for some time but had lain unexplored. I deliberately left myself nowhere to hide, and for that reason I didn’t expect to record it, or release it, until I started performing it live in the middle of long improvised piano sets, where it seemed to make sense.”
