Glass Marbles by Edward Rogers
From the heart of Birmingham to the grit and pulse of New York City, Glass Marbles captures Edward Rogers’ singular vision shaped by life in two worlds. Across 18 songs, he weaves sharp-rooted storytelling, lush arrangements, and raw, inventive pop‑rock textures—recalling the spirit of Roxy Music updated for the modern age. Recorded across KM Studios, Saltlands, and Rogers’ home base, Glass Marbles balances emotional depth with stylistic breadth, mixing introspective ballads and vivid character sketches with rollicking hooks and timeless songwriting.
