Frankie Rose Interstellar Out, UK Tour Announced

So people have liked the new Frankie Rose album. We mean they’ve really really liked it – here’s some real life words from real life journalists:

“Frankie Rose makes all the right choices, proving that you can evolve as an artist without leaving the past entirely behind” 8.4 Pitchfork Best New Music
“Dreamy and unashamedly huge music that demands to be heard” Sunday Times
“Shimmery dream-pop with panoramic crystalline harmonies” **** The Times
“Like a modern Stevie Nicks backed by Warpaint…by far and away Rose’s best work” **** Time Out
“A star turn… Think Veronica Falls meets Arthur Russell and investigate further” 8/10 Uncut
“An irresistible record” **** The Guardian
“Pealing melodies and the sort of exquisite production that binds every element into a deliciously immersive wash, a record to get lost in” Observer
“Gorgeous widescreen magnificence” 8/10 Clash

And we’re delighted to announce that Frankie Rose will be hitting the UK for a series of shows, a tour if you will, this coming July. As well as her own headlining shows, Frankie will be appearing at Camp Bestival and Tramlines Festival. Dates as follows:

Memphis Primavera Party

We’re excited about this. So we already had Field Music and Milagres playing the festival, but we’ve also teamed up with Primavera to put on Memphis Industries party at the Sala Apolo, Barcelona, 29th May. Line up is Hooray For Earth, Dutch Uncles and Elephant playing live, with The Go! Team DJs manning the decks. It’s, quite frankly, going to be incredible. here’s a little Memphis Industries Primavera playlist to get you in the mood

Memphis At SXSW

Sadly team Memphis are chained to the desk so won’t be able to make it out to SXSW this year. But by heavens our bands are there in force,  with Dutch Uncles making their first foray across the Atlantic, and Hooray For Earth, Cymbals Eat Guitars, POLICA, and MIlagres all playing a bunch of shows. The most mindblowing of which will surely be POLICA playing with Lionel Richie. Amazing
