Amanda Rogers - Daily News CD

Y), and first release through 2nd Records (EU).

This record is a D.I.Y. Lo-Fi recording showcasing raw and emotional music. No Auto-tune or studio magic, just intimate song writing and performance.

review at interpunk :"his cd is full of lush and beautiful, piano-driven music. It is such a nice break from raaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh, raaah, chugga chugga, raaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh! If you've ever listened to much Natalie Merchant, this is a much more somber and introspective version of similar music. Her voice fits perfectly with the miminal instrumental backgroung on most of these songs."review at punkbands :Her talent at the piano is eminent and a certain calm brushes over me as I listen to the way her fingers brush against the keys. In "Vacancy," her peaceful mood changes to that of emptiness and a loss for words, which is ironically put into words beautifully. Her music too, grows stronger and seems a bit distressed at times. She is a true gem, a treasure to the music industry and Immigrant Sun is lucky to have her. Four stars for Amanda Rogers because she certainly has restored my faith and appreciation for modern day troubadours.
