Bolton-born, Berlin-based operatic electronica star Janine Rostron has announced a second album under her Planningtorock moniker, to be released on James Murphy’s DFA label this May 16th. It will be called “W”. It may not be about George Bush the younger. But then it could be. Whether it is or not, a new album from Ms Rostron is a noteworthy event indeed, especially in the light of her work with The Knife on “Tomorrow, In A Year”, last year’s stunning electro opera, which ran for a few nights at The Barbican.
