The Check-In with Greta Kline-Frankie Cosmos

Greta Kline is a singer, songwriter and founding member of NYC based band, Frankie Cosmos. The newest record, Different Talking, is due out June 27th via Sub Pop Records and is led by three rousing singles.  Greta shares her experience growing up in a New York DIY community and how she evolved from a supportive to a creative role in the music scene.  She tells us how new bandmates have not only changed the sound of the new record but also led to their first self-produced record.  Greta recounts the bands two month recording session at a house in upstate New York and the two share their fondness for close quarter collaboration. She tells us why recording the single Bitch Heart was both a new and rewarding experience for the entire band. Joe and Greta discuss the asset hungry music industry, self-management and how the great Tracey Ullman came to be the star of the Pressed Flowers video.
