Shangri-Lass, is the solo project of Sheffield-based musician and Sister Wives’ bassist, Rose Love, has shared a second single from her forthcoming debut Over & Over EP, an off-kilter, 60’s girl-group inspired synth pop record with a brooding punk underbelly. The track follows Shangri-Las Previous lead single “Parallel” The EP will be released on April 28th via UK label, Redundant Span.

Love shares: “The song is a mess of ideas from a messy brain: depression, trying to get through a bad trip, how religious brainwashing never leaves you and then relating to my dad through all of those shared experiences.”

Rose Love grew up in Leeds, the daughter of hippies turned born-again Christians who ran a church and lived communally with its members. Her parents gave away their best records when they became Christians but a few made it into her childhood and music was a constant, from the 60’s/70’s rock in their collection (Led Zep, Jethro Tull, Van Morrison) to singing worship songs with a live band at church.

Love rebelled against Christianity and got into all kinds of music and the local subcultures really young. At 17, she DJed at her own 50s & 60s-inspired club nights, as well as playing keys in a surf/garage punk band, banjo in a doom-folk duo, and was in a couple of psych-y bands that never left the cellar. She first picked up the bass guitar when bilingual ‘myth rock’ four-piece Sister Wives formed in 2017 and has since released numerous EPs.

Over & Over is a collection of personal songs written during difficult times over the past few years, plus one cover song – “Dragonfly” by Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac. Love’s eclectic music taste is clear on this EP as it spans genres from song to song, borrowing moments from 60’s girl groups, 70’s glam rock, Ty Segall-eqsue garage, and French pop.
