Rosie Varela is a singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist for acclaimed shoegaze band EEP (eepshoegaze.bandcamp.com), whose albums have been praised by tastemaking outlets such as KEXP and The Big Takeover. Rosie created The Rosie Varela Project, an Avant-Pop/Indie Rock band for songs that bend genre and may not always fit into EEP's shoegaze style.
The solo project’s debut album What Remains is a collection of songs that explores many moments and moods throughout a woman’s life through the lens of the experiences that Rosie Varela has lived. It touches upon the sounds and musical influences - from avant-pop to dream pop to psychedelic folk - that have inspired her throughout her life. The album is an invitation to connect and to feel.
