Frankie Rose – “Return To Dust”

Frankie Rose's musical journey began in indie bands such as Dum Dum Girls, Vivian Girls, and Crystal Stilts. She has since developed a distinctive style of gauzy, gothy 80s-inspired synthpop. Frankie has had the opportunity to open for renowned bands like the Jesus and Mary Chain and Swervedriver, and will be opening for the Charlatans during their North American tour later this month.

She is also set to release her new album Hila, which she produced herself, on September 18th. Frankie took on the role of directing the music video for her new single, "Return To Dust," which complements the other single, "Cant Be Wrong" already released. The song features bouncy synths, icy guitars, and a bassline reminiscent of Peter Hook.

Playing "Return To Dust" while closing your eyes might bring to mind a club atmosphere filled with dry ice and bat-like attire. Alternatively, if you listen without visualizing, the video can be watched below. "Hila" will be available on Born Losers in most regions worldwide, and Night School in Europe and the UK.
