SOME STUFFS: Sophomore release for Frankie Rose on its way

It may very well go into overdrive, but that’s what it takes to get attention in 2012. Or at least to step away from the crowds and show off what you’re capable of, which is what Frankie Rose will be doing when she releases her second album next year. The album is called Interstellar (Slumberland/Memphis Industries), and will be released in the U.S. on February 21st, and a month later (March 19th) in the UK. How does the new music sound? The one word in the press release that stood out from the rest is “emotions”, which for me means if you liked her first album, you’ll find many reason to listen to the new one. If you live in or near Miami, Florida, you will be able to hear some of the new material when she performs at the Tom Tom Magazine Art Basel Party. For Brooklynites, you’ll be able to hear more when an album release part is scheduled on the day of release at the Knitting Factory.

December 3, 2011… Miami, FL Tom Tom Magazine Art Basel Party @ Sweat Records
February 21, 2012… Brooklyn, NY Knitting Factory (Album Release Show – order tickets here)

Another word from the press release that stood out? “Streamlined”, and the fact that compared to the first album, Interstellar will have “no fuzz”. Whether or not that means the music has been shaved remains to be seen, heard, and felt, but you’ll have to wait for about two months until you get to experience it yourself.

SOME STUFFS: Brilliant Colors offer sonic hues for forthcoming album

When Brilliant Colors released their debut album two years ago, they are probably as faceless as the photo you see above. As people became witnesses to their sound, the faces started to develop a bit more, but there are still those who have not heard of them, or are uncertain if they should. Make it your mission to listen this summer, as the trio will be releasing their non-slump sophomore album, Again and Again, on Slumberland, due out on July 19th.

The ladies will be on the East Coast to tour so they can bring their music to fans there. While there will no doubt be shows in July and August and perhaps up through September, none have been announced as of yet so if these cities are anywhere near where you reside, make plans:

06/09 Charlotte, NC The Milestone ~^
06/10 Athens, GA Farm 255 ~
06/11 Nashville, TN Glenn Danzig’s house ~
06/12 Columbus, OH Bat Chapters ~
06/13 Ann Arbor, MI Arbor Vitae ~
06/14 Toronto, ON Parts N Labour ~
06/15 Montreal, QC Le Cabigi ~
06/16 Boston, MA Problem House ~
06/17 Brooklyn, NY Glasslands *
06/18 Philadelphia, PA Cha Cha Razzi
