Hijack! sees Rogers return from a period of change with a record that is arguably his most ambitious, his most direct, and easily his most honest, with deeply personal songwriting seeing him explore his fragmented self across a ten-track collection that equally delves into the beauty and absurdity.

Despite the diverse moods explored throughout Jack Ladder’s sixth record – Hijack! draws from a cohesive sonic palette.

Since 2005, the towering (hence the ‘moniker’) baritone voiced ladder has released five albums that span thorny folk, jittery 60s blues rock, gothic electro pop, crouching new wave, and synth  tunes. Each is skillfully nailed to the sound and atmosphere and then discarded wholesale for the next. A terrible move to build a fan base in a small market. But those who stick to the universe of ladders devoted themselves to clever placement, amazing sounds, hidden hooks, and the anxious dissonance of a typical dark merchant interrogating his metaphor with dry wit.

We were lucky enough to have this amazing artist perform in-store when promoting his previous album – yeah…..back in those days when we could enjoy regular live sessions down in The Basement!! – and it was unbelievable!!  What a voice!!
