[photo courtesy of Dominick Mastrangelo] Captured Tracks is on quite an impressive run. The label began as a small Brooklyn boutique a couple of years ago — “CT-01″ is the Dum Dum Girls EP Yours Alone. Even at slightly more than 100 actual releases, Captured Tracks has managed to nurture some of the brightest bands [...]

Onetime member of Dum Dum Girls and Vivian Girls' self-titled 2010 debut (made with her touring band, the Outs) Frankie Rose returns with Interstellar. This album is less lo-fi C86-inspired past and more on par with the synth pop of 4AD's early years. Stream the album right here (via Spin)

Former Dum Dum Girls and Vivian Girls member Frankie Rose has begun to move beyond her more recent, reverb-swaddled, C86-inspired past. On February 21, she’ll release Interstellar, a full-length that turns back the volume dial, ditches the Rat pedal, and dives into the sort of celestial, synth-lined pop evocative of 4AD’s early years. It’s streaming [...]

Stasera è uscito My Heart Beats , un pezzo inedito dei Veronica Falls , che così fanno un po' di promozione all'imminente tour americano (tra l'altro in ottima compagnia: Dum Dum Girls, Brilliant Colors, Grooms e Bleached). Non che si possa giudicare troppo da una singola canzone, ma mi sembra più squillante e rock rispetto al loro magnifico album di qualche mese fa. Mi piace, ma mi ha ricordato qualcosa dei Dandy Warhols ed è stato - non so - un po' strano pensarci:

On first listen, Interstellar, the new album from former Vivian Girls/Crystal Stilts/Dum Dum Girls drummer Frankie Rose, sounds like a great leap forward — the moment Rose leaves behind ramshackle indie-pop and toward a more glimmering, expansive, lush take on her own tough-romantic style. We’ve already posted “Know Me,” “Night Swim,” and the album’s title [...]

Having gotten a taste of her forthcoming sophomore album Interstellar with the track "Know Me," former Vivian Girls/Dum Dum Girls drummer Frankie Rose has allowed access to the whole album online.

Since striking out on her own, Frankie Rose has sounded like a woman on a quest. The onetime member of Dum Dum Girls and Vivian Girls' self-titled 2010 debut (made with her touring band, the Outs), found the former queen of Brooklyn lo-fi making sense of her more recent, reverb-swaddled, C86-inspired past. And on February 21, she'll release Interstellar , a full-length odyssey wherein Rose turns back the dial, ditches the Rat pedal, and dives headlong into the sort of celestial, synth-lined pop that's come to define much of 4AD's early years. It's streaming below in its ...

Singer-songwriter Kristen Gundred’s varied musical tastes (think: the Ronettes and the Ramones) became obvious when she took the stage name Dee-Dee and founded the band Dum Dum Girls. The quartet—Dee-Dee (vocals and guitar), Jules (guitar and vocals), Sandy (drums and vocals) and Malia James (bass and vocals)—really arrived on the scene when the debut LP [...]

Four days of beer-chugging, eating overpriced food, and constantly brainstorming creative ways to avoid the long porta-potty lines is nearly upon us. Bask in the wonderfulness that is the Sasquatch! Festival! This year headliners Jack White, Beck, and Bon Iver will bring their latest batch of stuff to the Memorial Day weekend festival at The Gorge in George, Washington. White will, no doubt, be promoting his first solo output, Blunderbuss , and Bon Iver will continue to gain massive amounts of fans, but as for Beck… that’s anyone’s guess. Could he possibly be ready to release new material? His ...
