Howlin Wuelf Media :: Arrica Rose & the ...'s ::

Arrica Rose & the ...'s Let Alone Sea is the band’s much-anticipated third full-length release. Part folk, part dream-pop and vintage rock, Let Alone Sea Sea was recorded live to analog tape then layered with Rose's sultry lead vocals, Andrew Sister-esque harmonies, strings, horns, and pretty noise. Arrica Rose coined the name The …’s (“The Dot Dot Dots”) to describe the collaborative nature of her project which evolved from a 4 piece guitar-driven band into an intricate sonic landscape including keys, mandolin, toy piano, omnichord and more. Let Alone Sea will be available August 22 on pOprOck records.

Let Alone Sea (produced by Dan Garcia with Arrica Rose) is Rose’s most honest and intimate work to date, a collection of 10 timeless songs with a warmth and depth usually reserved for vintage recordings. With its haunting melodies and imaginative lyrics, Let Alone Sea walks the unique line between contemporary and classic.

Frank Sinatra’s “New York, New York” 45 was the first record Arrica Rose stole from her parents at the age of 4. Later, she found out her great uncle Lou Monte was one of the first artists signed by Sinatra to Reprise Records and had considerable success with a string of Italian-themed novelty records. Rose's father, a New York native transplanted to the San Fernando Valley, was a working actor who mostly played gangsters that met tragic ends (notoriously in The Godfather) while her mother was an educator, as well as a writer in her spare time. Having studied piano throughout her childhood, Rose bought her first electric guitar at age 15. She learned the instrument while playing in Uxby, an all girl punk-rock trio that never recorded a single note but performed live extensively at Los Angeles area venues like The Smell and Cobalt Café with bands such as Commander Venus, Still Life, and Jimmy Eat World.

After high school, Rose took a bit of a hiatus from music and attended USC film school. Soon, she found herself taking less film-production courses and more sound-design classes as well as scoring short films. She also began self-releasing her lo-fi home recordings on her own pOprOck records. Upon graduation she promptly put together her backing band, The …’s. Arrica Rose & the ...'s debut full-length People Like Us was co-produced by Rose and Larry Crane (Elliott Smith, The Decemberists, Sleater-Kinney) at Wavelab in Tucson AZ. The ensemble’s second full-length effort La La Lost , was produced by Dan Garcia (David Crosby, Christina Aguilera, Boz Scaggs) at his Radio Hill studio in downtown Los Angeles. A Paste Magazine “recommended” album, La La Lost was featured on iTunes throughout Europe and charted there, as well as on indie/college radio in the U.S. Arrica Rose’s song “Uh-huh” was featured on NBC’s Lipstick Jungle and "Little Wars" appeared in The CW's Nikita. "Uh-huh" was also re-mixed by multi-platinum selling DJ Jeff Savage and featured on NikeWomen.com.

Arrica Rose's follow-up EP, Pretend I'm Fur, was more of a solo endeavor created in the studio with producer Dan Garcia. It was an experiment in drum loops, Brazilian instruments and included a cover of the Bee Gees’ "Tragedy". Pretend I'm Fur debuted at #32 on iTunes Singer/Songwriter charts and earned an iTunes “New and Noteworthy release” spotlight. Rose's cover of "Tragedy" was deemed by Esquire.com “one of the best covers of all time”.

While working towards completing her 3rd full-length album, Let Alone Sea , three songs from the record were released on the Antebellum EP as a sneak preview. Currently, these songs can be heard playing in Starbucks’ 11,000+ stores.

In addition to her music projects, Arrica Rose is founder and director of I HEART Inc (www.iheartinc.com) an artist operated non-profit that raises money for charitable programs and organizations via creative projects and events.
