Frankie Rose is a member of the Dum Dum Girls, Vivian Girls and Crystal Stilts, all sweet nouveau-garage acts. She's just released her solo debut called "Interstellar" and it is fabulous. I love how new acts can take their influences and sounds and make them new again. A departure from the jangly garage 60s sounds, her album features more sounds of 80s acts like The Cure or Siouxsie and the Banshees yet sounding fresh and new. I'm currently digging this album a lot. It's got gorgeous melodies great sounds, and earned a Pitchfork 'Best New Music' designation. Look for it on Mixtape 11.
