It forgoes the 60's sounds prevalent on her debut in favour of a deeply engaging, 70's indebted pop record, one with experimental leanings harking back to Arthur Russell, Angelo Badalamenti's 'twin peaks' score, and leavened by innate melodic instincts akin to new order.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Memphis Industries","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50410774659403,"sku":"346875","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/81097e27-7297-4510-bc33-4a62e68d8c14_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726648886"},{"product_id":"love-as-projection","title":"Love as Projection","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLove As Projection\u003c\/i\u003e is the new album by Frankie Rose, her fifth studio LP and second for Night School following the reissue of her interpretation of The Cure’s \u003ci\u003eSeventeen Seconds\u003c\/i\u003e. Frankie Rose has forged an enviable musical legacy, from playing with bands like Crystal Stilts and The Vivian Girls but on \u003ci\u003eLove As Projection\u003c\/i\u003e she takes a bold step into electronic pop production. A sumptuous recorded statement, it dances in ecstasy and broods on the tumult of the western world’s decay in equal proportion. At the heart of the album is glowing, confident songwriting, resplendent in hooks and choruses but still touched with an optimism undimmed. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter spending nearly two decades establishing herself across New York and Los Angeles independent music circles, Rose re-emerges after six years with a fresh form, aesthetic, and ethos. Celebrated over the years for her expansive approach to songwriting, lush atmospherics, and transcendent vocal melodies and harmonies, \u003ci\u003eLove As Projection\u003c\/i\u003e is a reintroduction of her established style through the lens of contemporary electronic pop. Recorded with producer Brandt Gassman and mixed with long-term collaborator Jorge Elbrecht this is the album Frankie Rose has been building up to her entire career. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e More than a rebirth, a refinement, a resurgence, \u003ci\u003eLove As Projection\u003c\/i\u003e boasts a widescreen scope: a long- form project heavily considered for half of a decade, culminating in the most personal and accessible  collection of art-pop that Frankie has ever written. When Rose aims for the pop jugular as in first lead track Anything, the result is unstoppable. A majestic pop song built for radio, it erupts into an irresistible chorus that marries classic epic 80s American pop with the cult effervescence of Strawberry Switchblade “It’s like a prom scene in a John Hughes movie. It’s a hopeful song about abandoning fear even if the world is quite literally on fire.. In the end, at least we have each other,” says Rose. Sixteen Ways further boasts a propulsive, massive chorus, though tempered by a cynicism built in global post-truth, global malaise. “It’s about getting your hopes up, but simultaneously making lists in your head about how it will never work out in your favour.” \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe big anthems don’t let up there. On DOA some massive, rolling drums lathered in big mid-80s gated reverb dovetail with a syncopated baseline for the ages as Rose’s vocal sails effortlessly above. The effect isn’t unlike ethereal vocalists Clannad circa Howard’s Way or Enya jamming with Simple Minds in their stadium-conquering heyday. Rose tempers the adrenalin with heart-tugging bittersweet tones and there are plenty of them. Sleeping Night And Day takes its time with an off-the-cuff chorus, swirling around in harmony and chorus-bass. Saltwater Girl picks up the balladeering baton with another nod to album track-mode Switchblade, deep space opening up in the mid-tempo drum track and soupy, digital atmospherics. Album closer Song For A Horse, reimagines modern Pop production a-la-PC Music but shorn of the meta-atmosphere. Pianos, swelling synths, minor keys cut through with major. These moments, also seen in Feel Light offer ballast to the soaring pop choruses. Moments like these are big oceans of emotion to fall into before being led out by Rose into a bright new day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Night School","offers":[{"title":"Red LP | Signed Copy | Rough Trade Exclusive","offer_id":50453211939147,"sku":"2006046","price":19.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black LP","offer_id":50453210530123,"sku":"2006045","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red LP","offer_id":50453213544779,"sku":"2006072","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50453212889419,"sku":"2006047","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/unnamed_74c91f4d_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727169665"},{"product_id":"seventeen-seconds","title":"Seventeen Seconds","description":"\u003cp\u003eNight School is proud and excited to team up with \u003cstrong\u003eFrankie Rose\u003c\/strong\u003e to reissue her interpretation of The Cure’s masterpiece \u003cem\u003eSeventeen Seconds\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePressed on dark red transparent vinyl with new, artist approved artwork, \u003cstrong\u003eFrankie Rose\u003c\/strong\u003e’s \u003cem\u003eSeventeen Seconds\u003c\/em\u003e is the art of the cover album done right.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"Since I already think it's a perfect record, I tried not to reinterpret too much and stick to similar sounds as the original, but with a twist.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Night School","offers":[{"title":"Red | LP","offer_id":50466916696395,"sku":"1117928","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/4bc392d2-b912-403d-a87b-2ab16541f0ac_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727330854"},{"product_id":"herein-wild","title":"Herein Wild","description":"\u003cp\u003e'Herein Wild' quickly draws you into Frankie Rose's dreamy world as the power chords at the start of 'You for Me' instantly grab you, even before Rose's voice allows you to drift off into an echoing cavern of sound.
