By: Seth Cohen PR Out Of The Ocean, October 4th A Book About Prehistoric Fish and Microbes Sparks an Obsession With Evolution, as Rogers Finds Unlikely Inspiration Major U.S. Tour Confirmed Kickstarter Campaign Triples Goal Acclaimed pop/punk/folk rocker Bess Rogers returns on October 4th with her second full-length album, Out Of The Ocean, and a major U.S. tour. The CD’s inspiration came from an unlikely source: a book entitled ‘Your Inner Fish,’ by Neil Shubin. Rogers comments: "The book is about our evolution from life as far back as pre-historic fish and microbes and how that has affected our bodies and our lives now. It really grabbed me and I found myself a bit obsessed. I started to look at everything we do in life as a product of evolution, and many of the songs on this record were inspired by that idea.” The stunning album is Rogers’ most diverse and accomplished to date, and her fearless instrumentation, dynamic range and intelligent songwriting are evident as always. Highlights include the haunting mermaid ballad "In the Waves," the synth-laden robot love song "Math and Science," the album’s first single, “Anchor,” the propulsive pop-rock sing-along "Water and Dirt," and more. Listen to audio samples and download hi-res art, here: http://www.bessrogers.com/ The album was produced by Chris Kuffner (Ingrid Michaelson's Girls and Boys) and recorded partly in a Maine farmhouse studio owned by Sam Kassirer (producer of Josh Ritter and Erin McEown) and partly in Rogers’ home studio in Brooklyn. Out Of The Ocean features a host of talented friends including Ingrid Michaelson, Allie Moss, Ian Axel, Saul Simon-MacWilliams, Elliot Jacobson and Dave Eggar (Train, Beyonce). Artist Derek Gores (www.derekgores.com) Brooklyn-based Bess Rogers has built a national following through her independent releases, her relentless touring as a headliner and as lead guitarist and backing vocalist for Ingrid Michaelson, and most recently as the singing voice of the nationally televised Mott’s For Tots advertising campaign with her song, “We Believe In You” (http://www.youtube.com/ Rogers saw an incredible response to her Kickstarter campaign, due in no small part to the hilarious video she made about how to raise money to make a record: http://www.youtube.com/ Now, thanks to the support of her fans, she looks ahead to Out Of The Ocean. The first single, “Anchor” was released as a ‘digital 45’ in August, and featured a cover of The Beatles’ classic, “In My Life.” Visit http://bessrogers.bandcamp.com to stream both tracks. In recent months Bess has shared the stage with Ari Hest, Lelia Broussard, Jay Brannan, Rachel Platten, Caleb Hawley and others, and completed a multicity tour with Ian Axel and Allie Moss.
