New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Girlie Action Media & Marketing) Planningtorock, aka Berlin-based musician and visual artist Janine Rostron, released her brilliant sophomore album W digitally today via DFA Records (out physically June 14). She also recently remixed her track "Doorway," and created yet another visual stunning video to accompany the Jamroll remix- head over to Interview Magazine to check it out, along with a wonderful, in-depth look into the world of Planningtorock! "Amid goose-honk horns, pizzicato strings, and thudding dance beats, Rostron warps her powerful voice as if it's before a funhouse mirror- her it's husky like Annie Lennox, there it's pinched like Billy Corgan- But W veers gracefully between the club and cabaret." - Nylon Magazine Watch the "Doorway" (Jamroll remix) Video Premiere at Interview Magazine! Download "The Breaks" MP3 via DFA's Soundcloud! W, the follow-up to her 2006 debut Have It All, is littered with passionate songs like "The Breaks," the baroque Berlin-influenced "Living It Out," the sharpened percussive scythe of "Jam," and the swirling grace of "Black Thumber." Created over the course of the last three and half years in near solitude in her Berlin studio, the multi-instrumentalist and talented producer, wrote, sang and played every instrument on the album. With some added contributions from friends Christoffer Berg, Pat Mahony and Hjorleifur Jonsson, Planningtorock has created an album of immense proportions. Keep an eye out for U.S. tour dates.
