Misty Roses chaunteuse Robert Conroy performed a gorgeous live set on Irene Trudel’s WFMU Show on November 28th with pianist Michael Harren. The show can be downloaded in full from here and features an incredible version of Broadcast’s eternally haunting Echo’s Answer.

Esther Harris has produced a truly beautiful video for Misty Roses‘ Puce Woman (for Kenneth Anger) which you can watch just below.

On top of this, a French blog called Hartzine has done a featurette on the video and Robert’s live WFMU performance with pianist Michael Harren (which you can check download in the post above).  Amongst the great google mistranslations is a nice description of Misty Roses’ ‘licked electronics, psychedelic sound-fed.’

Bizarre’s interview with Misty Roses chanteuse Robert has just been added to the magazine’s website here.

This is also an opportune moment to remind fans that after an interminably long and unavoidable delay we are finally about to take delivery of the 7″ vinyl for EP01 -their magnificent double A-side Puce Woman (for Kenneth Anger) / Queen Cobra (for Jack Smith).

Here are the young men, a snake on their shoulders…

Wichita Linemen from the Black Lagoon, Misty Roses are Jonny Perl (instruments/programming) and Robert Conroy (voices/words).

I’m thrilled to be launching Exotic Pylon Records with Misty Roses’ new single, their first release since their wildly inventive and highly acclaimed 2009 album Villainess.

Puce Woman / Queen Cobra is a carnivalesque celebration of two of American cinema’s most brilliantly occult-orgiastic film-makers. Puce Woman (for Kenneth Anger) opens with playfully demonic noirish orchestration before spiralling into a gaudy whirlwind of madness and mirror balls, pivoting on a repetitiously deranged organ line. Queen Cobra (for Jack Smith) is an explosion of ripped Technicolor speed-glam guitar and electronic chatter, Roxy Bowie dining out with a flapper devil 30 years from now. Their unique thematics and approach to structure is a parallel universe where song and soundscape break down and merge – these are pop songs painted by Fulci in Mareinbad.

Misty Roses are interviewed in the forthcoming Bizarre Magazine and have just completed an interview with Dangerous Minds, to be published shortly.
