Biography

Bolton, Manchester, UK

Planningtorock (all one word, often just PTR) is the vehicle of expression of Janine Rostron , a musician and visual artist from Bolton, Manchester, UK who has lived in Berlin for ten years. “W” is her new album, the follow-up to her 2006 debut “Have It All”, which was a full-on chamber-pop romp that established Planningtorock as anything but orthodox.

A ball of energy that landed as if by happy accident in the middle of the art, fashion and music worlds, Planningtorock allowed Janine to travel the globe performing at gig venues and arts events. She built a formidable reputation with a theatrical solo show in which she performed, wearing white and sometimes donning a customised PTR helmet, in front of the mesmeric videos she’d made for each track. Multimedia and sometimes kind of multi-gender, Planningtorock seemed to raise more questions than Janine had answers for, which tickled her. And through doing the live shows, she realised that her songs took on a second life, which in turn fed back into her music.

While she is a new name to many, those who know Planningtorock tend to form a strong emotional connection with her work. No doubt about it, Janine is totally out there on her own, and with W, she’s raised the bar several notches, producing a powerful soul odyssey that ravishes the listener and comfortably ranks as one of the DFA label’s finest releases.

    Not only her visual concept is asexual, i think her music also sounds like asexual and that's so GREAT¡¡¡

    @hungarianpaprik - It's because Honey is Cool's singer is Karin Dreijer Andersson. Her band after that The Knife did a collaboration album with Planningtorock called "Tomorrow In A Day". Karin Dreijer Andersson's solo project "Fever Ray" is very expirimental and avante garde electronic music, just as Planningtorock is, though they sound very different.

    Dying to hear a new album. Hope it'll be in the vein of W which is by far my favorite album 2011.

    Where have all the critics gone? I read some really funny stuff here. Anyways, I'm glad with Misxgyny Drxp Dead. The change of idiomatism in her music is welcome to me.

    Misogyny is a gem. But the rest of the EP is too weird for me. At least it's not just noise like Fracking Fluid Injection.

    The new EP is not my thing. It steps just a bit too far into the "inaccessible" realm of things. That said, it seems like the EP is more of a message and less of listening music, so really it was made for a different purpose. It's not bad though, and I still freaking love Janine. Nothing will change that <3!
