Frankie Fuckin' Rose

Frankie Rose. I developed a big stinky ladycrush on you after you abandoned the Dum Dum Girls and released a fine-ass record in 2010. Your tough surf rock, your true Arthur Russell cover, those dreamy little swirlies you drew up and down the proverbial walls with those guitars - the whole lot of it was beautiful. And now you're set to release a new record. So why'd you ditch all that good stuff to make a contribution to the ever-growing pile of 1980s imitations? This fucking '80s revival's been dragging on for what, seven years and counting?

(New record Interstellar gets released February 21 on Slumberland.)
