Keel Her
The undisputed "pop princess" of the current home-fi experimental pop stratosphere returns to Gnar Tapes with an undeniable new tape of swoon-worthy stoner-pop candy. Sweet and subdued with a mega chilled out aura, this is some of the best, best, BEST pop Rose has committed to cassette. Like friends and contemporaries Emotional and Free Weed, Keel Her has been constantly releasing a consistently developing string of home-recorded pop that just seems to get better with each and every release. She also shares a kinship with friend and former mentor R. Stevie Moore in that she has a rare and unique mind seemingly made for pop experimentation, as well as a sly sense of humor and free spirited attitude towards the carefree. Easily one of the brightest stars in the modern lo-fi pop constellation and a blessing to all cassette lovers on Earth. And beyond.
Keel Her is Rose Keeler-Schäffeler, an alien-obsessed bedroom musician with a prolific workrate to show up every studio-dithering band as heel-dragging slackers.
While this self-titled collection is officially Keel Her’s debut album, Rose Keeler-Schäffeler is no debutant. Since 2011, the Brighton-based songwriter has shared songs online seemingly as fast as she can finish them – faster, in fact, with myriad works-in-progress amongst the EPs and compilations.
