ALBUM REVIEW: Frankie Cosmos – Different Talking

Sub Pop

27.06.25

Different Talking brings together soft and shimmering indie rock influences and sways like the wind on a summer’s day. NYC-based four-piece Frankie Cosmos know how to set the tone and have created an elaborate and well produced collection of songs on their fifth studio album. Seventeen tracks of hazy alternative anthems. Pressed Flower, Porcelain and Wonderland to name a few.

Frankie Cosmos throw fragments, memories and places together and translate them into their signature musical vibe. It’s an album brimming with soft confidence, hazy guitar riffs and subtly thumping drums but most of all stunning vocals. This sturdy, worldly indie rock record is about ageing and the passing of time yet feels suitably timeless.
