Jellyfish co-founder Roger Joseph Manning Jr. revisists his 2020 EP Glamping with a whole new package which includes new bonus tracks.
In 1990, Roger Joseph Manning Jr. made his indelible mark on the alternative rock scene as one of the minds behind Jellyfish. After their initial two groundbreaking albums that continue to be hailed as classics, the band embarked on separate journeys, and Manning's musical odyssey led him through various projects, including Imperial Drag, the Moog Cookbook, and TV Eyes. Moreover, his genius extended beyond his own endeavors, with contributions to albums by artists like Beck, Morrissey, Lana Del Rey, Blink 182, Johnny Cash, Adele, and many others.
Even as he explored these diverse avenues, Manning remained dedicated to his solo craft. In 2020, he independently released the EP Glamping, which offered a tantalizing taste of his musical prowess. While it was later reissued with three electrifying live bonus tracks, these gems regrettably remained under the radar of mainstream recognition. Now, in the year 2023, the singer-songwriter unveils four brand-new songs, two of which were co-authored with Chris Price of Emitt Rhodes fame.
Radio Daze & Glamping combines Mannings's latest studio creations with the original quartet from Glamping, all elegantly packaged in a captivating LP format. For those seeking a more comprehensive auditory experience, the CD and digital versions further enrich the collection by incorporating the three live bonus tracks from the limited edition expanded version of Glamping, plus fresh live tracks and a duo of enchanting instrumentals.
Radio Daze & Glamping isn't just a musical compilation; it's a renaissance for Roger Joseph Manning Jr.'s sonic landscape. It bridges geographical boundaries, transcends various formats, and stands as an indispensable gem in the realm of contemporary music. Roger's enduring artistry continues to shine brightly, captivating audiences worldwide. This release is nothing short of essential for music enthusiasts in search of transcendent sonic experiences.
