The Return Of Rosay Pipette

It's been a while since I last mentioned ex-Pipette Rosay. After leaving the group with Riotbecki, she started a solo career under her own real name, Rose Elinor Dougall. To be honest, I had heard a couple of songs, but wasn't entirely hooked. That was until today, when I finally saw her again, in what is her first music video since the departure, a dark, beautifully-shot black-and-white affair for the new single 'Start/Stop/Synchro'. I know those polka-dot days are far behind now, but it is still a bit strange to see Rose in a modern, non-novelty get-up. The music is still closely tied to the sixties, but this time leans for a folkier direction. The warm tone of her voice suits the song well. So far, this is the best I've heard from her, so my hope is up for this project. I notice the single is being released by Elefant Records, Camera Obscura's old label, so she's in the right place. A full-length won't be coming soon even though it has got a name ("Without Why"). According to her Myspace, it's due in 2010. Maybe by next year, we'll have new materials from both the current (fourth) lineup of The Pipettes and the exes? Hopefully so. Have a look at the video, and sample the song below.
