Seventeen Seconds, by Frankie Rose

Seventeen Seconds

by Frankie Rose

supported by

Manuel Funcia This album is awesome. Although it’s very true to the source, it also has a more modern feel as it’s a 30+ years later interpretation, and it’s just a tad less dark. It’s a must have for Cure fans. Favorite track: Seventeen Seconds.

congealedmeat A worthy cover of a great album. I really like how Frankie Rose has put a respectful spin on this classic. It's just different enough that it sounds new, but still maintains enough semblance of the original that it's easily identifiable as The Cure. I wish more cover albums did this.

The whole album is great, but A Forest will always be my favorite track from Seventeen Seconds. Favorite track: A Forest.

about

Night School is proud and excited to team up with Frankie Rose to reissue her much loved interpretation of The Cure’s masterpiece Seventeen Seconds for Record Store Day 2021 July 17th - Drop 2. Pressed on Dark Red Transparent Vinyl with new, artist approved artwork, Frankie Rose’s Seventeen Seconds is the art of the cover album done right.

"Since I already think it's a perfect record, I tried not to reinterpret too much and stick to similar sounds as the
original, but with a twist.”

Frankie Rose has forged an enviable musical legacy, from playing with bands like Crystal Stilts and The Vivian
Girls during the heyday of the late 00s Brooklyn indie scene to releasing influential solo albums like "Interstellar"
and "Cage Tropical." Synthesizing wide-ranging influences, she's crafted a very distinctive and original musical
voice that echoes some of the best post-punk, new wave and 80s pop while still sounding totally fresh. It was in this
spirit that Rose covered The Cure's classic second album in its entirety. Produced with Jorge Elbrecht behind the
desk, Rose’s interpretation updates the album’s palette while sticking to fairly rigidly to The Cure’s original. This is a
fan’s homage, a spin on a trusted classic that maintains the mood while injecting new resonances, particularly in
Frankie Rose’s vocal.

Musically, Rose has very much kept the faith, with A Reflection’s gothic, synth harpsichord introduction creeping in
like in a horror film murder scene before the first vocal track Play For Today introduces Rose’s distinctive voice.
While the most well known songs on the album might be A Forest and the eponymous title track, Rose’s
interpretation of this track sounds like the big post punk chart hit it should have been, sweeping synth strings and
wistful atmospherics married to the incessant beat dynamics. Rose’s vocal delivery is just primed to hook.

Here Frankie Rose offers the listener new ways to experience one of the founding stones of the post-punk era.
