Maggies Rogers' last album Heard It in a Past Life came out in 2019, and today the musician has shared news of its follow-up titled Surrender, arriving July 29. The album, which was recorded in Electric Lady Studios in New York, Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios near Bath in England, and Rogers’ parents’ garage, finds the songwriter giving in to harmonic emotional buzzing.
The announcement came with an album trailer directed by Rogers and Michael Scanlon. In it, Rogers recites a poem. "When I’m angry or in love, I feel it in my teeth. Strange harmonic buzzing. Cuts through my hands. My jaw. My breast bone," it begins. The video matches her recited words about relinquishing power to emotion with close-up images of Rogers, New York City traffic, and bright explosions of light, with the black-and-white montages recalling Andy Warhol's work. What I assume is snippets from the forthcoming album break through between her spoken word, presenting collisions of guitar and powerhouse vocals.
Watch the trailer below.
