New Yorker Greta Kline fell in love with music at an early age, and the anti-folk scene of her home city inspired her to write diaristic, tuneful pop when she was still in her teens. The albums she’s released as Frankie Cosmos are smart and self-aware, with distorted guitars surrounding her sweetly tart vocals and adding extra bite to her compact, catchy refraction of ‘90s indie pop. Her four 2019 Haunted Items EPs strip down her songs to their essence, the piano-and-vocals arrangements letting her talent for melody and the vulnerability lurking in her voice shine through.
