   Roger D'Arcy Releases New Album 'House O   
   24 Sep 17 19:40:32   
   
   From: musicdish@gmail.com   
      
   HOUSE OF HEADS is already getting a big response from radio stations and fans   
   around the world who are not only praising the thought-evoking collection of   
   original Roger D'Arcy penned songs (plus the first track released from the   
   album - Ordinary Man –    
   his tribute to his musical hero, Gordon Lightfoot) but also its superb   
   production quality - HOUSE OF HEADS has been added to radio playlists   
   throughout Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, North America and the UK. Stations   
   are also adding tracks from D'Arcy'   
   s first album Crooked Tales and lining up a huge amount of activities   
   including on-air interviews and promotions   
      
   In addition September 8th sees the release of the second track from HOUSE OF   
   HEADS – 'Michael' – which is released following the success of his tribute   
   to Gordon Lightfoot a cover of his classic - Ordinary Man   
      
   Roger D'Arcy comments "It's always a challenge to come back with a second   
   album, especially one as eclectic as this one. We recorded the album at   
   Babajim Studios in Istanbul, Turkey – a studio that I actually designed back   
   in my previous life as a    
   studio designer. Many people may well know of my career heading up Recording   
   Architecture which saw me travelling all over the world combining a life long   
   love of music with a passion for design and architecture.   
      
   "The song 'Michael' is another tribute to a hero of mine, this one a friend   
   and mentor from my early years in the north of England. Michael had a huge   
   influence on my view of life and showed me that there are many paths - he   
   remains a good friend to this    
   day.."   
      
   "We recorded 'Michael' along with the other songs that came together to form   
   what became HOUSE OF HEADS over the fall of 2016 and spring of 2017 and I was   
   fortunate to work with some of the most talented musicians I've ever met and   
   to collaborate with my    
   producers, Pieter Snapper and Mirko Ettore D'Agostino - who are also   
   incredibly experienced sound, mixing and mastering engineers. An amazing   
   experience!"   
      
   Bio:   
      
   Roger D'Arcy's music career started at the tail end of university when he   
   formed the label Longsongs Music which went on to sign other artists and   
   received some critical acclaim for bands The 6ix (Radio 1 Best New Band of the   
   Year) The Gift ("It'll End    
   In Tears" and "Crashing Down" receiving John Peel, BBC Radio 1 airplay) and   
   local TV and radio exposure for the band, Go!   
      
   He later went on to form the world renowned Recording Architecture which saw   
   Roger design and build recording studios for the likes of The Kinks, Ronnie   
   Wood, Sade, Annie Lennox, The Waterboys, The Cure, UB40 and literally hundreds   
   of the world's finest    
   studios.   
      
   He now returns to his first love: Making music…
