來自美國的民謠、低傳真少女 Greta Klines 化名為 Frankie Cosmos 在 Bandcamp上 DIY 了許多作品,從寫歌到錄音都自己來。2014年的首張錄音室專輯《Zentropy》被 New York Magazine 選進了2014年流行專輯第一名的佳績。
最新專輯《Next Thing》,歌詞就像一本水水的詩集,而Greta也在這張新作品中挑戰了與先前不同的樂器及情緒,鬆散的聲線讓人印象深刻,不複雜但完整的編曲,加上時有驚喜的創作走向,讓人也期待著在這張《Next Thing》之後,Greta的「Next Thing」會是什麼呢?
Greta Klines 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 Yorks All Ages DIY scene. The beauty in Klines 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 its release, Zentropy became one of the most critically acclaimed independent albums of the year and was named New York Magazines #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 Thing explores new emotional and instrumental territory for Kline, and is slated for release April 1st on Bayonet Records.
