Frankie Cosmos - Different Talking (Red Vinyl)

• Available June 27th, 2025.
• Ship orders including this title will be held back.

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. It's 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 music's 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. Musically, it's the most varied and richly textured Frankie Cosmos album, filled with country-fried noodling, tassels of synth, and imposing walls of sound.

LOSER Edition RED vinyl produced by Sub Pop Records in 2025.
