News about the new planningtorock album, release dates and more will be announced here soon!
"Part Jarvis Cocker, part Wendy Carlos, its an arresting outsider spectacle, ..Have it All.. is a raunchy synthesis of Bowie, Bolan and Joplin"
TANK magazine
"Neo-vaudevillian kaleidoscope of a record, its vigorous and defiant, littered with off kilter touches"
WIRE magazine
"I..m getting a record that is super fucking weird but also
satisfyingly mind-blowing."
VICE magazine
"Music that makes you think; a riot of originality that not only celebrates difference and eccentricity but which positively embraces it!"
DJ magazine
"You have to imagine a symphony orchestra playing electronic violas under psychedelic neon lights. Have it All is an auditory wonderland of xylophones, strings, and techno beats accompanied by creepy fairy chants" NYLON magazine
"Janine Rostron..s musical background gleams through her new album, Have it all not just mashed up but perfectly arranged"
Electronicbeat
"Have It all is unique and sounds like nothing else that..s come out this year.....her vocals are pure, expressive, and souful"
"Rostron's Janis Joplin-like runs are able to cover the distance between melody and primal scream, leaving her free to exploit her entire expressive range"
"Rostron invites us to become a part of her alienation, and injects the experience with a sense of humor. It repulses as it beckons; the more you ignore her, the closer she gets"
