Melbourne’s Indie Alt-Pop Sensation Winn Rose Releases Her Long-Awaited Debut Album “So Far,” Showcasing a Unique Blend of Cinematic Strings and Lo-Fi Electronica
Melbourne’s indie alt-pop scene is buzzing with excitement as Winn Rose releases her debut album “So Far“.
This new artist is going to make a big splash with a collection that is both deeply personal and musically adventurous. Singles like “deep dive,” “Rough,” and “in love anyway” have already done very well.
“So Far” is a record that doesn’t hide its raw feelings. Winn Rose said that this work was her “ultimate display of vulnerability,” because it forced her to face memories and feelings she had pushed down.
The result is a viscerally cathartic collection of songs that listeners are sure to connect with on a deep emotional level. Each song on “So Far” gives you a look into Rose’s life, from the rough waves of love to the peace she finds in nature.
The mostly self-produced album “So Far” shows how Winn Rose has grown as an artist and as a person. She’s worked with up-and-coming musicians like R&B artist EMEREE and multi-genre musician Brad Jackson to improve her sound, which is now a complex mix of experimental folktronica and gritty indie rock.
Winn Rose creates her own sound by looking to big names in alt-pop like Ruelle and Lizzy McAlpine for inspirations. She skilfully mixes dramatic strings with lo-fi computer sounds and live instruments to make a mood that is both personal and expansive.
Interesting track names like “Angels” and “Barely Breathing” on the album’s list of songs suggest an emotional trip through Winn Rose’s mind.
Interludes like “the water” and “the mountains” make it sound like the collection is all connected by a theme. Winn Rose is having a big show at The Gaso Upstairs on August 25th to celebrate the release of his new record. Get the tickets HERE!!
She says the night will be small and full of surprises, and she might do a special live version of the things she makes in the studio.
“This will be such an intimate and fun night that really can’t be missed. I’ve got a lot of surprises in store for the audience that I’ve really not seen at any other gig I’ve been to in Melbourne.”
Winn Rose’s song “So Far” makes her a strong new voice in Melbourne’s growing indie scene.
This is her first album, and fans of thoughtful alt-pop with an experimental edge should definitely check it out. She isn’t afraid to explore raw feelings, and the production choices are very creative.
