In the 2000s, Frankie Rose was such an important part of Brooklyn NY’s growing indie rock scene, realized greatly for her drumming technique and infrequent vocals. As an original member of the noise pop genre trio Vivian Girls, she also took part in popular bands like Crystal Stilts and Dum Dum Girls prior to making her solo debut as a singer/songwriter with “Thee Only One,” a melodious, reverbed noise rock number for Slumberland.
Frankie Rose’s solo career consisted of playing blends of catchy indie rock with sidesteps into shoegazing and synth pop. Albums like Interstellar (2012) and Cage Tropical (2017) introduced a newer side to Rose. Once that leaned toward brighter, new wave based material. Before her next album was her 2021 single “I’ll Be Your Lightning,” which was an excerpt from the recording that eventually led up to Love as Projection (2023), a radiant electro set.
Love as Projection dived deep into electronic music, coupling a few of Rose’s best songs to this day with detailed production composed by synths, drum machines, hooks, and a more digital rendering. The album dropped again on Slumberland in March 2023.
