The last ten months have seen many artists pivot, experiment, branch out and generally direct their attentions to other musical areas. To group the latest longplayer from Roger Shah in that though would be to overlook a musician who already album-moves out of ‘his lane’ one year in every two. Whether it’s through neo-classical soundtracks for yet-to-be-made films (ala last year’s Guardian Of Dreams) or yoga & wellbeing albums, Roger’s as regular an irregular as they come.
Ahead of starting his latest departure, Roger was as clear as to what he didn’t want, as what he did. For its focal decade ‘Nightride’ trades in touchstones, inspirations & affections, whilst hurdling the pitfalls of pastiche & excess. Eschewing out-and-out synth-synthetics, across it fourteen tracks, resonance, chime and echo become its foundation blocks.
