Comments: A nice mix of acoustic-based folk rock and guitar-driven pop on Out of the Ocean, the new LP from Brooklyn-based artist Bess Rogers. She's also the lead guitarist for Ingrid Michaelson's touring band, and Michaelson drops by to sing backing vocals on a pair of mid-album tracks. Rogers benefits from a full band on her singer/songwriter-style tunes, as she and producer Chris Kuffner show off their abilities on multiple instruments, along with plenty of support from other musician friends.

Start with the terrific pop number "Anchor", and also check out "Standing Tall" and "Water & Dirt".
