████ ████
████ ████
████ Different Talking, the sixth and, so far, best ████
████ album by NYC indie-rock four-piece Frankie ████
████ Cosmos, seems to exist across time and space, ████
████ as we all kind of do. ItÆs a collection of ████
████ fragments and memories, remembered places, and ████
████ reinterpreted feelings that adds up to a ████
████ lucent, humming whole: a sturdy, worldly ████
████ indie-rock record about aging and the passage ████
████ of time that nonetheless manages to feel ████
████ sharply current. ████
████ ████
████ Frankie Cosmos lead singer, guitarist, and ████
████ songwriter Greta Kline has long been heralded ████
████ as one of contemporary indie musicÆs most deft ████
████ and most necessary writers, but on Different ████
████ Talking, her lyrics soften out slightly, the ████
████ wry cynicism that defined recent records now ████
████ giving way to an acknowledgment of the awesome, ████
████ and necessary, fallibility of the human brain ████
████ and heart. ████
████ ████
████ To classify Different Talking as a return to ████
████ form, or at least a return to the lush ████
████ directness of earlier Frankie Cosmos records, ████
████ would be rude but also wholly incorrect: as ████
████ Different Talking makes clear, you can never ████
████ return to the comfort and bravery of your early ████
████ twenties, but that person always kind of lives ████
████ inside you, no matter how much you change. ████
████ Different Talking is about finding that person, ████
████ honoring them, and learning from them. ôA lot ████
████ of the album is about being grown up and ████
████ figuring out how to know yourself û like, æWhat ████
████ is moving on?Æö says Kline. ôHow do we move on ████
████ when weÆre addicted to a cycle of haunting our ████
████ own past? Writing songs is just the way through ████
████ that.ö ████
████ ████
████ Kline has been a fixture of the American indie ████
████ underground since her late teens when her ████
████ prolific Bandcamp releases and 2014 indie-label ████
████ debut Zentropy led her to be dubbed ôthe poet ████
████ laureate of New York City DIY.ö A tag like that ████
████ is a lot for young shoulders to take on, but ████
████ itÆs hard to deny the singular influence she ████
████ has had on contemporary pop music. If the idea ████
████ of a young woman picking up a synth in her ████
████ bedroom, putting a couple of songs on the ████
████ internet, and quickly becoming a superstar is ████
████ now de rigeur, itÆs because Kline û along with ████
████ a handful of other artists and writers û ████
████ normalized and exalted ideas of (female) DIY ████
████ genius long before they were pinned to ████
████ moodboards in major-label marketing offices. ████
████ ████
████ A lot has changed since then: after going ████
████ through a handful of different permutations ████
████ over the past decade, Frankie Cosmos is now a ████
████ four-piece featuring Kline, Alex Bailey, Katie ████
████ Von Schleicher, and Hugo Stanley. Kline is the ████
████ only constant, but Stanley, Bailey, and Von ████
████ Schleicher are crucial collaborators, and to ████
████ use the names ôGreta Klineö and ôFrankie ████
████ Cosmosö interchangeably would be incorrect. ████
████ Kline remains the primary songwriter, and the ████
████ music on Different Talking is arranged by the ████
████ band as a whole, but this is the first album to ████
████ be self-tracked by the unit with no external ████
████ studio producers. ████
████ ████
████ Setting up camp at a house in upstate New York ████
████ for a month-and-a-half to work on Different ████
████ Talking, Frankie Cosmos developed the kind of ████
████ rapport you can only build from living and ████
████ breathing your art for a long period; they ████
████ smoothed out kinks in production together and ████
████ watched films in the evenings, cooked for each ████
████ other while one member ironed out their parts ████
████ alone, and took trips into town when they ████
████ needed a matcha or a breather. Learning each ████
████ othersÆ rhythms meant that, with each ████
████ successive day, they were becoming more of a ████
████ living, breathing organism as a band, less a ████
████ collection of musicians building out KlineÆs ████
████ songs than a unit devoted to finding a shared ████
████ world within each track. This is Frankie ████
████ CosmosÆs first entirely self-produced album ████
████ (aside from KlineÆs early demos), and, not ████
████ coincidentally, it feels like a purer, more ████
████ distilled take on the band. ôIt does feel like ████
████ the best version of what IÆve wanted to make ████
████ since I was a teenager,ö says Kline. ôAlthough ████
████ this was recorded in a living room, itÆs as ████
████ high fidelity as anything weÆve made in the ████
████ studio.ö ████
████ ████
████ This sense of locked-in-ness is clear when you ████
████ listen to Different Talking, which could only ████
████ be the work of four accomplished, ambitious ████
████ musicians working in perfect harmony. BaileyÆs ████
████ antic bass line interlocks seamlessly with ████
████ StanleyÆs syncopated rhythm on ôBitch Heartö; ████
████ Von SchleicherÆs keys perfectly gild KlineÆs ████
████ vocal melody on ôOne! Gray! Hair!ö. Throughout ████
████ the album, it feels like nothing is extraneous ████
████ or out of place, everything being controlled ████
████ from one shared central nervous system. ████
████ Lyrically, Different Talking may be some of ████
████ KlineÆs most insular work, but musically, itÆs ████
████ the most varied and richly textured Frankie ████
████ Cosmos album, filled with country-fried ████
████ noodling and tassels of synth and imposing ████
████ walls of sound. ôWeÆd go to any length to get ████
████ GretaÆs songs right, and sheÆs generous with ████
████ songs, so we have a lot of freedom to arrange ████
████ them,ö says Von Schleicher. ôItÆs a rare talent ████
████ to have, with rare freedom given, and the ████
████ course hasnÆt changed.ö ████
████ ████
████ Lead single ôVanityö exemplifies this ████
████ perfectionistÆs approach to production and ████
████ songwriting: Von Schleicher correctly describes ████
████ it as ôa fucking pop anthemö, but does a pop ████
████ anthem ever contain this much attention to ████
████ detail? ôVanityö is spare and busy at the same ████
████ time, its second-album-Strokes chorus ████
████ blossoming between passages of minimalist ████
████ curiosity that recall the earliest Frankie ████
████ Cosmos tapes. ItÆs one of the songs on ████
████ Different Talking that doesnÆt have a clear ████
████ object, perhaps a result of its genesis: ôI ████
████ started writing it one evening while I walked ████
████ (~6.5 miles) from Tompkins Square Park to ████
████ Sunset Park, speaking directly to the universe ████
████ and pleading to be considered by it,ö says ████
████ Kline. ôIt feels like it encompasses this push ████
████ and pull between adult and kid, government and ████
████ governed, planet and blade of grass.ö ████
████ ████
████ Different Talking opens with ôPressed Flower,ö ████
████ a kind of Rosetta Stone for the rest of the ████
████ record that touches on gentrification and ████
████ rebirth, the passage of time, and the idea of ████
████ ômemories being present in the physical world,ö ████
████ says Kline. Wistful but resolute, it perfectly ████
████ encapsulates KlineÆs writing at this moment: ████
████ Hopeful and world-weary at the same time, ████
████ looking back on painful older memories with a ████
████ new sense of resignation and understanding. ████
████ ôIÆm constantly both shedding old feelings and ████
████ reactivating them through the same process of ████
████ reflection,ö says Kline. ôIÆm looking back at ████
████ my younger self and feeling both connected and ████
████ disconnected from her in new ways.ö ████
████ ████
████ Sometimes, that sense of connection comes in ████
████ the ability to make a joke about something ████
████ traumatic, like when Kline sings ôMy wonderland ████
████ keeps the scoreö on ôWonderlandö; you can feel ████
████ a sense of relief on ôLife Backö when she sings ████
████ that ôYesterday I felt like I would never have ████
████ my life back/Today I donÆt remember ever ████
████ feeling like that.ö Although dissociation is a ████
████ theme of Different Talking (ôTrick my body, ████
████ near constantly,ö sings Kline on ôPorcelainö), ████
████ so is the uncomfortable euphoria of feeling ████
████ totally embodied. Being aware of yourself ████
████ becomes an insistent hook on ôBitch Heartö: ████
████ ôIÆm watching the goosebumps retract/Watch the ████
████ hair fall flat against my skin.ö ôSo much of ████
████ aging for me has involved this growing ████
████ awareness and learning to be in my body and ████
████ feel grounded,ö says Kline. ôI want to try and ████
████ take in each moment with more focus and ████
████ thoughtfulness û sometimes that means focusing ████
████ on a physical body sensation.ö ████
████ ████
████ Different Talking ends with ôPothole,ö a ████
████ jaunty, dryly funny obliteration of ego that ████
████ ends on the kind of ambiguous, optimistic note ████
████ thatÆs defined many a Frankie Cosmos song over ████
████ the years: ôItÆs sunset here/WhatÆs it for ████
████ you?/HowÆd they get the pink light to come out ████
████ like that?ö ItÆs an invitation and an ████
████ acknowledgment that the world is just the way ████
████ that it is, and itÆs our job to find meaning ████
████ within that, as opposed to waiting for meaning ████
████ to come find us. ôItÆs kind of like, okay, the ████
████ world is big and can be beautiful,ö says Kline. ████
████ ôLetÆs ask questions about it.ö ████
