A former member of Vivian Girls, Crystal Stilts, and Dum Dum Girls, Brooklyn's Frankie Rose launched a solo career in the 2010s playing a blend of melodic indie rock with detours into shoegaze and synth pop. A staple of the Slumberland label, albums like Interstellar (2012) and Cage Tropical (2017) saw Rose move increasingly toward brighter, new wave-oriented material. Following a six-year gap, she returned in early 2023 with Love as Projection, a luminous and electronic-driven angle on her signature songwriting style.
