Jul 24, 2025With its clean, bright production, Frankie Cosmos have found a fitting sound on ‘Different Talking’, via their new era of lush, happier pop-rock.

Jun 30, 2025Different Talking doesn’t stray from Frankie Cosmos’ predilection for short songs—only two tracks of its 17 pass the two-and-a-half-minute mark—but Kline and the band make each feel like a universe in miniature.

Jun 25, 2025Moments of rock brilliance are scarce. Your Take On, with dissonant 60s-esque guitars and talk-singing, is a jolt from whisper-soft vocals surrounding 2022’s Inner World Peace.
