Let’s take a moment to marvel at how lucky we are to have a fruitful music scene back home here in San Francisco. Case in point, this project Rose Droll, tipped as perfect for fans of Little Dragon, Fiona Apple, Micachu, and The Shapes. She bewitches us with Fat Duck, an entrancing third song from her debut full length, Your Dog. On it, she seamlessly fuses glitchy electronica, jazzy minimalism, and much avant-garde flair to give us a complex & innovative slice of genre-bending, resplendently mystifying indie. Debut album Your Dog is out now on Father/Daughter Records. Come December 13th, Rose Droll will be performing at a showcase hosted by Father/Daughter and local radio station BFF.fm, alongside other local faves like Pllush, Pardoner, and SOAR. The event at The Independent will serve as Rose Droll’s record release show. The label will also be donating $1 to every ticket sold to Sunset Youth Services, a local youth program in the Sunset neighborhood. Tickets can be purchased, here. Debut album Your Dog is available, here.

Madeline Kenney @ The Moroccan Lounge (10/20/18) // Show Review

article and photographs by Gomi Zhou

I think this was probably one of the latest concerts I have ever attended. All the way across the city of Los Angeles, 10am on a Saturday night, my friend and I were ready for a chill, intimate indie show. Needless to say, our prior understanding of Madeline Kenney was very bare minimum. We’ve both enjoyed her newest record, Perfect Shapes. In addition, as a certified “Tumblr looking hoe” who actually never understood Tumblr, I love Madeline’s general branding. Although I’m more of a Panic! At The Disco type of angsty teen, I was ready to get angsty to some calm and collective vibes for this night.

We arrived just a bit before 10 and sat in the bar area for a while. There were already a handful of people, chatting around and waiting for the show to officially start. The opener, Rose Droll, was casually walking around and mingling within the crowd. She was wearing mostly black, blending in perfectly well with everyone else; though, as what my friend had pointed out (“Oh I LOVE her shoes!”), her artisan-looking shoes and confident-yet-casual smile were enough to tell us that she was the second most important person for the night.

The opening set was exactly what we expected. When Madeline was promoting the show on her Instagram earlier in the day, she was saying that Rose had “already broke (her) heart during soundtrack”--sure enough, Rose had a hauntingly beautiful voice. Whenever she shifted her attention away from her guitar to her drinks in between songs, the audience remained dead silent, as a way of respect for her almost-sacred, careful and vulnerable musical narration. In addition to her music, Rose’s charismatic sarcasm about herself, her parents and other things in general surely won the heart of everyone in the crowd.

After Rose Droll’s set, Madeline and her band walked out casually and started to set up everything for themselves. Shortly after, she appeared once again with a daisy pattern romper and her neat short hair tied in two buns. Together with the band, they started playing the first number from the newest record, “Overheard”. My friend and I immediately noticed the difference between this live version and the studio version: this is now a single from a rock band instead of your plain-and-simple bedroom pop. 

Perhaps it was just the drummer, who seemed to be literally devoting all her energy into making sure every single beat would come out clear but heavy; but I doubt that was the case since the guitarist and Madeline also collaborated into the performative, daunting approach to the songs. Odd enough, even though the drumming was incredible and at times, overwhelmingly incredible, Madeline’s voice was still peaking through on top of the different layers of instruments and pre-recorded beats. To be honest, it was a strange scene to be in for me. The fact that none of the beats and rhythms was actually being modified, yet I was still experiencing something completely different--simply because of the different orders in instrumental layering--was both surprising and fascinating.

Throughout the show, Madeline also had to take care of the sound level, pre-recorded samples, and various different instruments. Not only was she constantly turning multiple knobs on her keyboard, but she was also using her left foot to control several different channels (excuse me for not knowing more about production, I know my description here is awfully plain, I know). By the time we reached the halfway point of the show, Madeline had kicked off one of her shoes in order to have full control of all her samples on different channels. Perhaps this is usually not the norm for a headliner, but Madeline had definitely gained the audience’s respects for being able to have a full understanding of her own music and being able to have perfect control of it. As a performer, she is not just talented and skillful, but also patient and collective. 

No one helped the performers to clean up the stage afterward, Madeline and her companions took care of everything. After packing up, Madeline stepped out and proceeded to talk to everyone who was waiting for her--despite the fact that it was almost midnight in the slightly sketchy LA Art District area. “Thank you for coming, hope to see you next time!” Madeline smiled as we said goodbye to her. As we stepped out of the venue, I promised myself to attend another one of Madeline’s show soon. This young woman and her team were incredibly inspiring with their independence, confidence, and passion, and I would definitely love to cross paths with them in the future again.
