PLANNINGTOROCK

About

One part performance artist, one part musician, Janine Rostron, who performs under the PLANNINGTOROCK moniker, knows how to put on an intriguing live performance. With each album, the Berlin-via-Manchester musician chooses a role and becomes it, even when it requires slightly creepy makeup and costuming. Rostron also has a knack for creating diverse music of a high caliber, blending carnivalesque rock with chamber pop, electronica with soul, or spacey synth with delicate piano. While PLANNINGTOROCK had built a fairly devoted following already, it was with the release of the collaborative album with The Knife and Mt. Sims--an operatic collection of songs--that PLANNINGTOROCK began receiving widespread attention.
