Five Things We Liked This Week - 11/08/23

Gigi's Recovery

The Stars Will Leave Their Stage

After spending nearly two decades establishing herself across New York and Los Angeles independent music circles, Frankie Rose returns with a fresh form, aesthetic, and purpose embodied in her new album "Love As Projection." Celebrated by countless critical and cultural outlets over the years for her expansive approach to songwriting, lush atmospherics, and transcendent vocal melodies and harmonies, "Love As Projection" is a reintroduction of her established style through the new lens of contemporary electronic pop. Featuring beautiful, ethereal songs like lead-off single "Anything," "Sixteen Ways" and "Come Back," this album is more than a rebirth, a refinement, a resurgence – it's a culmination of influence, a newly-defined scope using the tools at her disposal, and the most personal and accessible collection of art-pop that Frankie has delivered yet.

Brontez Purnell - 'No Cigarettes / Stay Monkey'

Our new single English Roses comes out midnight tonight. It’s a song that has been on a very long journey. We wrote it off several times and left it untouched for a few years. Now it's ready.

Tom began writing the first few lyrics as long as eight years ago in student halls in Glasgow and, at the time, the words were merely thoughts and jottings, in response to the initial rumblings of ‘Brexit’, more a means of catharsis than anything else. It was the first time in our lives where xenophobic or racist views were able to be aired as if they were suddenly respectable. Ultimately, communities that have always been neglected by the privileged and the ruling class, were given an enemy that was simpler to understand: foreigners. 

However, this song does not blame deprived communities. People were unsatisfied with their lives and wanted change; change came but it was change for the worse, wrapped in a cloak of deception.

It’s about latent racism and the fear of others, of outsiders, about living comfortable, often affluent, lives and choosing not to look beyond the roses at the end of the garden. In the countryside, people can be very protective of their ‘way of life’ and with that there can be a resistance to change, a fear of change, prejudice.

Life in the country can be emptier; emptier in that there are fewer distractions, less clutter; an emptiness that brings a clarity and a fullness. But country life can also be emptier; emptier of new ideas and outside influences; an emptiness that sometimes brings a detachment from ‘others’.

A song, grown out of bad soil, eight years in the making, has finally blossomed.
