Although Frankie Rose is best known as one of the original founders of Vivian Girls, the sound of her new project, Frankie Rose and the Outs, has taken on a decidedly more shoegaze, slightly noisy direction. The Brooklyn stalwarts have taken their lo-fi garage sonics and penchant for rich melodies and upgraded the production, dousing […]

There’s more than a couple things that were better in the 1920s, and most of them had to do with design. Cars, suits, motorcycles, hats, pontoon planes, dames.
