Another year begins and 2023 starts with the fabulous news that a VPME fave over the years, Frankie Rose is back with her first new album in six years.
We first discovered Frankie via her work as a founding member of the Vivian Girls, then as drummer/vocalist with the Crystal Stilts as well as playing with the much missed Dum Dum Girls. She then formed `Frankie Rose And The Outs” and soon began a solo project expanding her garage pop palette into subtle elegant emotionally charged dream pop. You can read our interview with her HERE from way back in 2010 when I had a penchant for giving Q&A’s dreadful pun laden titles.
Today she announces a brand new track “Anything” which is the first single from her forthcoming new album Love As Projection, out on March 10th on Slumberland. It’s a shimmering mix of sophisticated pulsating electronica and dreamy pop with a killer chorus sparkling with wistful beauty.
Of the album Frankie says : “This album is about having to focus our collective energies on the small things around that we can control to find joy. A distraction from the larger systemic problems that feel so overwhelming and are so very out of our collective hands… for now…”
