Our Day at the Races
Our Day at the Races is a concept album based on the following synopsis: “In November 2024 Dave Stanton passed away. His estranged son Drew returned for the funeral and came upon his father's journal while cleaning out his childhood home. In it was a lengthy entry detailing the day Dave took Drew to see the thoroughbreds run in the summer of 1999. Tracks 1 - 9 represent Dave's writings. The finale is from Drew's perspective as he reflects on that day 25 years earlier when he and his dad briefly found some common ground. Ultimately it was not enough to mend their relationship but perhaps the lessons are sufficient to help Drew save his failing relationship with his own son.” This twelfth Banrock solo LP is another complete one man operation from song writing all the way to mastering and album design.

Artificial Stupidity
Banrock's eleventh solo LP is the most straight forward rock album of the collection. The artist goes back to the rock ‘n’ roll foundations of electric guitar, bass, drums and vocals. A complete solo endeavor from song composition to album artwork and everything in between.

Time, It Goes (2023 Remix)
Twelve years after its original release Time, It Goes, Banrock's debut album, gets a refreshing new mix. The 2023 remix is a cleaner, more transparent version of the original instrumental album. The intricate intertwining acoustic guitars are given room to shine and the whole experience feels more coherent. The essence and intimacy of Banrock's and Banrock & Weber's compositions remain intact and offer an upgraded experience of the relaxing and meditative album originally released in 2011.

The Ethics of Longing
Banrock's tenth full length album is grittier than any of its predecessors. The Ethics of Longing, not unlike many of the previous LPs, explores human relationships. This time, however, the themes and presentation are matter-of-fact. There is no sadness. Instead there is acceptance of an imperfect world in which everyone struggles in their own unique way. From start to finish, from song creation to album art, this is a strictly solo creation presented to you by John Banrock.
