Officer is the solo project of DC Logan. Born in Glasgow, he grew up in Northern Ireland and moved to London to follow his rock n roll dreams like many before him. After being involved with the local punk scene, and volunteering for homeless charities, he formed a solo project in 2013 and perhaps that could have been the end of this story had a few more pages to tell.
Following an intense 10 months of DIY touring across Europe Logan constantly won over audiences with both his musical ability and stage manner. A loyal fanbase was developing who, unbeknownst to him, where willing to do whatever it took to hear their idols music recorded. Under the premise of a few drinks at the pub they “ambushed” him and presented him with the cash necessary to make the album he and they always wanted.
Now relatively free of financial shackles Logan was able to get to work on the songs that would become his debut ‘Myriads‘. Determined to record a song a day he combined all the life experiences that led him on his journey and shaped the songwriter he has become in order to create an album that acts as the snapshot of where Officer is right now.
“Glass Ceiling“, the second single from this project, sounds like Foals joining Snow Patrol in a rousing encore . The track is beautifully paced and it’s instrumentation, particularly on the verses, is intentionally considered proving that sometimes less is more and providing the perfect platform for the choruses to jump out of the speakers.
Officer will no doubt be back on the road in 2016 doing what he does best. The tale behind the creation of ‘Myriads‘ is remarkable within itself. The fact that the music contained within is also remarkable helps a lot.
