Oscillating between fascination and obsession, “Roxanne” comes from a familiar place but one in which we rarely allow ourselves to reside for very long. A street-savvy, tough, swaggering beat bounces along as Cici seems content with adopting all of Roxanne’s personality, taking the best but indulging in the worst, dancing along all the while. Cici suggests that they “break the world open and see everything”, a beckoning to move away from normal, cut the bullshit, and give in to their most hushed, perhaps deviant desires.

“Roxanne” is part of the dialogue between Cici and Francis, the young lady whose diary – a treasure trove of dreams, desires, and musings on the struggles of moving to and living in late 70’s / early 80’s New York City - spawned the songs on the album. This one is sung directly to Roxanne / Francis’ ghost; it’s a kind of love song, a “wish you were here” with perhaps a slightly unsettling dose of “wish I was you”.

about

LONDON PLANE Brooklyn, New York

The London Plane tree is pale white, ghostly, lanky, and doesn't exist in nature as it's a hybrid of two other trees, engineered specifically to be tough, as city trees must be to survive.
