NOW THAT THE LIGHT IS FADING

Vinyl LP pressing. Maggie Rogers' debut EP features five original songs written, produced and performed by the 22-year-old multi-instrumentalist, including the singles Alaska and Dog Years . Rogers grew up playing banjo on a working farm in rural Maryland and first came to the public s attention when she appeared in a video posted on YouTube of Grammy Award-winning producer Pharrell Williams teaching a Masterclass at The Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, where Rogers was a student. In the clip, Rogers plays an unfinished recording of Alaska and the song earned a slew of media attention. Spin declares the song blends folk, electronic, and pop music sensibilities to form an entirely new hybridized sound , while Paste calls it hauntingly beautiful . The Los Angeles Times said it has the lilting vocal inflections of a country song and the depth of a poem .'
