    Frankie's doesn't bear the weight of an obviously solo effort and at once succeeds in creating music that rivals any full-band effort from any of her peers.

    Interstellar is a pretty irresistible record.

    Interstellar succeeds in expertly appropriating its forebears instead of regurgitating them.

    Although not quite out of this world as its title suggests, Interstellar represents a haughty development in Frankie Rose's artistic capabilities.

    Frank Rose and his pathetic "Interstellar" begins ten-track, self-titled album. It is a compilation of indie rock melodies with sublimed roleFrank Rose and his pathetic "Interstellar" begins ten-track, self-titled album. It is a compilation of indie rock melodies with sublimed role of synthesizers and kind of muffled sound ("Know Me", "Gospel-Grace"), characteristic to shoegaze style. It is unfortunate that there's a lack of any distinctive numbers on the record.… Expand
