Rogers reminisces about mentor

In May 2013, Rogers reminisced, “I lost an incredibly important person to cancer who I still think about every day and that experience pretty much coloured the whole record.” He referred to his mentor, Stephen “Goose” Gray of Sydney-based rock group, Box the Jesuit, who had died of lymphoma in August 1993. “[Goose] would have wanted me to stay in America to finish the album so that’s what I did. But there’s no nostalgia or good feelings about that time.”
