(Updated 3\/30\/18 - 1:00 PM PST)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNew York-native\rsongwriter Greta Kline has shared a bounty of her innermost thoughts and\rexperiences via the massive number of songs she has released since 2011. Like\rmany of her peers, Kline’s prolific output was initially born from the ease of\rbedroom recording and self-releasing offered by digital technology and the internet.\rBut, as she’s grown as a writer and performer, devising more complex albums and\rplaying to larger audiences, Kline has begun to make her mark on modern\rindependent music. Her newest record, \u003ci\u003eVessel\u003c\/i\u003e, is the 52nd release from\rKline and the third studio album by her indie pop outfit Frankie Cosmos. On it,\rKline explores all of the changes that have come in her life as a result of the\rmusic she has shared with the world, as well as the parts of her life that have\rremained irrevocable. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFrankie Cosmos has taken\rseveral different shapes since their first full-band album, 2014’s \u003ci\u003eZentropy,\u003c\/i\u003e\rerupted in New York’s DIY music scene. For \u003ci\u003eVessel\u003c\/i\u003e the band’s lineup\rcomprises multi-instrumentalists David Maine, Lauren Martin, Luke Pyenson, and\rKline. The album’s 18 tracks employ a range of instrumentations and recording\rmethods not found on the band’s prior albums, while maintaining the succinctly\rsincere nature of Kline’s songwriting. The album’s opening track, “Caramelize,”\rserves as the thematic overture for \u003ci\u003eVessel\u003c\/i\u003e, alluding to topics like\rdependency, growth, and love, which reemerge throughout the record. Although\rmany of the scenarios and personalities written about on \u003ci\u003eVessel\u003c\/i\u003e are\rfamiliar territory for Frankie Cosmos, Kline brings a freshly nuanced point of\rview, and a desire to constantly question the latent meaning of her\rexperiences. Kline’s dissonant lyrics pair with the band’s driving, jangly\rgrooves to create striking moments of musical chemistry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eVessel’s\u003c\/i\u003e 34-minute run time is exactly double the\rlength of Frankie Cosmos’ breakout record, \u003ci\u003eZentropy\u003c\/i\u003e, and it is an\renormous leap forward. Typically, albums by artists at a similar stage in their\rcareers are written with the weight of knowing that someone is on the other end\rlistening. Yet, despite being fully aware of their ever-growing audience, Kline\rand band have written \u003ci\u003eVessel\u003c\/i\u003e with a clarity not muddled by the fear of\ranyone’s expectations. \u003ci\u003eVessel\u003c\/i\u003e’s unique\rsensibility, esoteric narratives, and reveling energy place it comfortably in\rKline’s ongoing musical auto-biography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eVessel\u003c\/i\u003e was recorded in Binghamton, New\rYork with Hunter Davidsohn, the producer and engineer who helped craft \u003ci\u003eZentropy\u003c\/i\u003e\rand \u003ci\u003eNext Thing\u003c\/i\u003e, and at\rGravesend Recordings in Brooklyn with Carlos Hernandez and Julian Fader.\rIt features contributions from Alex Bailey (formerly of Warehouse, and now part\rof the live configuration of Frankie Cosmos), Vishal Narang (of Airhead DC),\rand singer\/songwriter Anna McClellan, all of whom have played on bills with\rFrankie Cosmos and collaborated on-stage with the band. The final mixes were\rdone by Davidsohn, and the album was mastered by Josh Bonati.    \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Frankie Cosmos","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":54460862824786,"sku":"jdc1788117401925","price":14.17,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"CD","offer_id":54460862857554,"sku":"ynk1788117401926","price":6.62,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Cassette","offer_id":54460862890322,"sku":"ehf1788117401927","price":6.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Digital","offer_id":54460862923090,"sku":"nru1788117401928","price":7.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1085\/6821\/5890\/files\/vessel_1.jpg?v=1788117406","url":"https:\/\/www.littlecopper.shop\/products\/vessel","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
