“…The close quarters echo the intimacy of Kline’s early bedroom recordings, but a decade removed from her debut, her twee quirks have hardened into revealing idiosyncrasies… Singing with a sweet weariness, Kline can seem bemused by her melancholia, her resigned acceptance given an appealing warmth by a band whose gentle sway lends her pop miniatures depth.” - [4 out 5] MOJO Magazine
 
“Greta Kline’s four-piece continue to mature on this thoughtful sixth album, which sees the songwriter wrestle with the growing challenges of life as she enters her early thirties… These issues, dramatic or otherwise, unfold against an exquisitely cute jangle-pop backdrop, where simple, pure melodies meet bracingly short and uncluttered arrangements.” -
Uncut Magazine
 
“Leaning in to the band’s strengths, you can hear aspects of Guided By Voices in their stubborn unwillingness to conform to the rules.” -
[“Vanity”] Clash

“Kline’s oeuvre chronicles over a decade’s worth of personal and professional growth, neatly packaged into light-hearted ditties and passionate rock songs” - The Line of Best Fit

“Different Talking brings together soft indie rock influences and sways like the wind on a summer’s day.. An elaborate and well produced collection of songs. Seventeen tracks of hazy alternative anthems” -
[4 out of 5] Narc Magazine
 

Today, June 27th, Frankie Cosmos has released Different Talking, their sixth and, so far, best album from Sub Pop. 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. The album includes the previously released singles, “Pressed Flower,” “Bitch Heart” and  “Vanity” which Stereogum described as “…bigger and more complex than most of what we’ve heard from Frankie Cosmos in the past, without sacrificing the innate warm, DIY quality of Kline’s songwriting.”
 

Today, the band has shared one final video, a double video for their songs “One of Each” and “Against The Grain,” which was directed by Matthew Volz. Watch here.
 
As previously announced, the band will embark on a World Tour, with North American dates scheduled to run from September 3 to October 25. Fantasy Of A Broken Heart and Moontype will support the first leg, from September 3 to September 20, and Chris Cohen & Emily Yacina will support the second leg, from October 9 to October 25. The band will then return to the UK and EU for 7 shows with Babehoven on main support. See below for a complete list of shows.
