Frankie Cosmos
$29.98
Greta Kline's musical output as Frankie Cosmos exemplifies the generation of musicians born out of online self-releasing. Kline initially built a reputation with her prolific catalog of bedroom recordings and as a performer and advocate of New York's All Ages DIY scene. The beauty in Kline's writing does not lie within immense statements and large gestures, but instead can be found in her ability to examine situations and relationships with heartbreaking sincerity. In 2014 Kline released her first studio album, Zentropy. Within months of it's release, Zentropy became one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the year and was named New York Magazine's #1 Pop album of 2014.In 2015 Kline signed to Bayonet Records, immediately releasing an EP where she experimented with writing in an electronic setting. The EP Fit Me In was well received and garnered a Best New Track from Pitchfork. Kline then began recording her next album appropriately titled, Next Thing. Like Zentropy, Kline approached Next Thing by fleshing out several old home recordings, and by writing half of the album from scratch. Next Things explores new emotional and instrumental territory for Kline. In the 10 years since it's release, Frankie Cosmos reached new heights, and the song "Fool" had a viral moment that assisted it in going Gold! This new edition of the album features three previously unheard demos just for vinyl lovers!
