(PR) Pour yourself a drink. Place those expensive headphones gently over your ears. Turn the lights down. Light a few candles and a stick of Nag Champa. Kick back in that comfy chair you inherited from your Grandpa. Close your eyes. Press play. And listen. Listen closely. You’re about to enter a world of love, hate, joy, and pain. Feel nothing. Feel everything. Laugh, cry, and when the last song ends, open your eyes. If you’re still breathing, you’ve just experienced A 750ml Affair. Set For Release on January 7, 2008Fronted by permanent member and veteran songwriter, Gregory A. Rogers, A 750ml Affair’s self-titled debut album features a collection of 11 thought-provoking songs inspired by heartbreak, loneliness, addiction, pop-culture, and coping with fallibility. It’s an ideal blend of taboo subjects that will inspire fascinating discussions among listeners.
Intent on exploring the many facets of human emotion and our sensory ability to interpret these physically, the Artist’s debut weaves together a dynamic songwriting approach with stellar musicianship, resulting in a dark but melodic repertoire of well-crafted songs and often disturbing cerebral images.
The album’s narrative tone, while melancholy and occasionally misogynistic, is inspired by Rogers’ recent life events which include a painful divorce, the unwarranted relocation of his 6-month-old daughter, and the ultimate let down of what society deems “The American Dream,” a story told eloquently in a song by the same name featured on the album.
