Under the Radar Magazine

Ex-Dum Dum Girls, Crystal Stilts, and Vivian Girls member Frankie Rose certainly has an impressive pedigree. On her 2010 self-titled debut album with ad hoc band The Outs, she cribbed liberally from the oeuvres of her former bands, crafting a record laden with copious reverb and Spector-esque girl group hooks. It was a decent effort, but at times came up creatively fallow, as the formula she tinkered with was a bit staid and formulaic. Here, on her sophomore effort Interstellar, she’s billed with her name only, no band attached. It’s appropriate, given that this foray establishes Rose as a singularly idiosyncratic musician.
