New York, NY (Top40 Charts) 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!"
