Almost one year after the birth of their 2018 record Vessel, Frankie Cosmos have dished on their “next thing,” a project called Haunted Items. The digital-only comp of songs with Mark Yoshizumi will unveil new tracks each week, starting with the ditties “Tunnel” and “Dancing,” out today (March 13).
Frontwoman Greta Kline explained the project on Bandcamp, saying, “items themselves are harmless unless they are infused with some kind of energy. These items are haunted by fear, consumerism, commitment, love, loss, the list goes on…I had some of these songs stuck inside me, mostly because I wrote a lot of them for piano and didn’t know how to record them, even as demos. My friend Elia gifted me with 10 hours of recording time with Mark Yoshizumi, and this winter felt like the perfect opportunity to get these out of my system and haunt you with them instead. I have always been afraid of items being haunted, but when you think about it, every item is, right?”
