Gemma is writing for her second album. Working with producers EAMES, Gareth Ashton (The Verve, Rolling Stones, Tina Turner) and Mike Tournier (of dance legends Fluke), Gemma has developed a more immediate sound to carry her snapshot lyrical styling, which delivers provocative personal and political convictions in an emotionally direct and often humorous way.

“AWESOME” ~ Loud Women
“Gemma pulls no punches” ~ Steve Lamacq – 6 Music
“Invigoratingly Angry” ~ Juno reviews
“Early PIL-like industrial vibe” ~ God is in the TV
“Cool as fuck” ~ Louder Than War
“With punk strumming, and a dancing drum machine, Gemma Rogers’ The Great Escape, ponders the possibility of Ferris Bueller-like memories that “we can live forever in.” ~ Ban Ban Ton Ton

Pianist, poetic storyteller and producer Bailey Lanes delves into her own experiences to provide vivid musical narratives with influences of the 90’s Trip Hop scene. Organic sounds meld with pads and reverbs as layered vocals create an ethereal intimacy.
