The true spirit of an indipendent musician dwells with Frankie Rose and here roomies in Brooklyn NYC.
Now she’s a solo musician with a band for the tour time and an awesome album out, Interstellar, (give a chance to the full album streaming here) but we’ve known her when she was cutting her teeth with Crystal Stilts, Vivian Girls and Dum Dum Girls.
I saw her home in this interview and I was impressed by the use of old classic stuff mixed with diy customized furniture and tons of creative decor. Flowers textile sofa apart, here and there we recognize the same strong traits of originality of her music. The space is wide enough to manoeuvre amplifiers and host the charming antique listener-dressing table you don’t expect. A woman’s hand is also on the succulent blanket, but it reach the high level with the bare plywood perfume shelf, a beautiful raw detail.
Frankie found the time to answer a few questions and satisfy our curiosity about her art of living.
