Description
The process of giving up something you love is the basis of You Am I frontman Tim Rogers‘ new solo record An Actor Repairs, a record which follows the emotional trajectory of an elderly actor saying goodbye to his craft. Written and re-written over two years as an accompaniment to a performance piece Rogers was attempting, the resulting record comprises 12 songs that detail the life of its protagonist as the curtain comes down on his last performance. Explains Rogers of the album’s premise, “Ambition long given over to a journeyperson’s approach, the fear of leaving a life’s passion behind and the ghosts of romances born and played out within theatre walls, vie for attention on a long walk home from closing night.”
