On The RCRD: Frankie Rose

Interstellar is the perfect title for Frankie Rose's new album. The former Vivian and Dum Dum Girl continues a stunning evolution on the record (out February 21 on Slumberland), creating otherworldly pop music with a distinct atmosphere and ear-wedging hooks that will likely score your next few months. With such a bold voice, we had to ask Rose to go On The RCRD. Find out about her life changing album, favorite comedian and photographer, as well as her thoughts on the music industry in 2012.
