Greta Kline has announced a new Frankie Cosmos LP, Different Talking, to follow up 2022’s Inner World Peace. It’s out June 27 via Sub Pop, and the particularly expansive lead single, ‘Vanity’, is out now. Check it out below.
“A lot of the album is about being grown up and figuring out how to know yourself — like, ‘What is moving on?’” Kline explained in a statement. “How do we move on when we’re addicted to a cycle of haunting our own past? Writing songs is just the way through that.”
The current Frankie Cosmos line-up features Kline, Alex Bailey, Katie Von Schleicher, and Hugo Stanley. Though Kline remains the primary songwriter, Different Talking was arranged by the band as a whole, and it’s the band’s first album to be self-recorded without external studio producers. “We’d go to any length to get Greta’s songs right, and she’s generous with songs, so we have a lot of freedom to arrange them,” Von Schleicher shared. “It’s a rare talent to have, with rare freedom given, and the course hasn’t changed.”
