Edward Rogers in a psychedelic Astor Place

A psych‑pop memoir from Birmingham to the East Village, Astor Place distills five years of songs into Edward Rogers’ most personal, live‑wired record yet. Produced by Don Fleming, the album arrives October 10, 2025 on Think Like A Key Music (TLAK1202) in limited pressing LP and CD editions and digital.

A Tale in Transit

Written across boroughs and decades, Astor Place ties childhood rooms to city corners, memory to melody. Rogers leans into analog immediacy—tracking with a tight ensemble and keeping the performances organic and unvarnished. “I wanted the songs to breathe,” says Rogers. “To feel like you’re in the room when the story lands.” Fleming—cult‑favorite behind Sonic Youth, Teenage Fanclub, Hole, and The Posies—guides the flow with sharp pop instincts and warm tape‑era sensibility.

Songs that Stay

From the driving swagger of “Romeo” to the contemplative glow of “The Olde Church,” the record swings between brisk, hook‑bright rockers and reflective ballads. “Magical Drum” slips a keepsake from youth into a melody that refuses to fade, while “15 Eldon Road” and the title track mark compass points—home as place, and place as feeling. “These are lived‑in stories,” Rogers notes. “If you’ve walked New York long enough, you know how every corner keeps a secret.”
