Janina Frank – “The Ghost of Janina Frank”
It’s quite rare that I encounter an artist with so little prescence on the net as this Janina Frank. She appears on the new double album”The Ghost of Janina Frank”, which was released this Autumn by the label Bakery Allstars. When I ask the label about info they tell me that Janina is a member of the performance band Miss Mimi & the Mysticals, that she has played in The Meaner and in Incesthora and that she has participated on a number of other artists’ productions.
This is a minimalistic electronica production with, as the album name implies, a ghostly, dreamy, deserted atmosphere. I don’t really get a grip of the whole through the lyrics as I quite miss, i many songs, to be able to read them as I listen. It feels quite unique and personal and there is a shimmer of mystique over it all where I search for the story behind it. Maybe the info in the press release can help somwhat:
What became of Mrs. Frank no one knows,
lost in the woods or captured by foes?
In the mist of night you can hear her songs,
’cause the ghost of Janina Frank lingers on.
On Bakery Stars’ site you can download all the songs for free if you like. Here are two songs from the album.
