Single/Download Review

Frankie Rose
Thee Only One Slumberland 7”

Article written by Ged M - Oct 30, 2009

Ex-member of Shitstorm and the Vivian Girls, current member of Crystal Stilts, Frankie Rose is ground zero for all musical good things to come out of Brooklyn. When I add that her solo single was recorded by Gary Olsen at Marlborough Farms and features Kyle Forrester and JB Townsend of Crystal Stilts, there are so many plus points in the first 50 words of this review that the single can’t fail to woo us – and doesn’t. ‘Thee Only One’ is fast, punky and heavy on the reverb but there’s less fuzz, more pop, combining a 60s girl group feel with a touch of Cramps-style wickedness. In contrast, ‘Hollow Life’ is spacey psychedelia, a ghostly organ droning as if playing in a deconsecrated church. She’s managed to modify her style from band to band without losing what makes it so distinctive, which is why this is so good.
