After two capacity crowds at Strange Matter, amazing NYC singer-songwriter Greta Kline and her current act FRANKIE COSMOS comes to Capital Ale House to showcase material from the bands 3rd record, and first for the incredible Sub Pop Records (and Greta's 52nd (?!) recording)! As usual, they'll be joined by a member of the Double Double Whammy family with fellow New Yorkers FLORIST and their amazing blend of soft-synth sounds and folk music arrangements and workings. Opening up will be a newer act that we're equally stoked on seeing, Chicago's own LALA LALA!! Full FC and Florist bios below!

FRANKIE COSMOS: New York native songwriter and composer Greta Kline has shared a bounty of her innermost thoughts and experiences from the past six years through the almost inconceivable number of songs she has released since 2011. Like many of her peers, Kline’s prolific creative output was initially born out of an era where bedroom recording and self-releasing became more possible than ever through the advent of the internet. But as she’s grown as a writer and performer, playing to larger audiences and devising more complex albums, Kline has shifted from an artist who’s made strides despite limitations, to an artist whose impact can be seen across modern independent music. Her newest record, Vessel, which will be out spring 2018 through Sub Pop Records, is the 52nd release from Kline and the third studio album by her indie pop outfit FRANKIE COSMOS. On it, Kline explores all of the changes that have come in her life as a result of the music she has shared with the world for the past half-decade, as well as the parts of her life that have remained irrevocable.
Frankie Cosmos has taken several different shapes since their first full band album, Zentropy, erupted in New York’s DIY music scene in 2014. For Vessel the band’s line up comprises of multi-instrumentalists David Maine, Lauren Martin, Luke Pyenson, and Kline, who each contributed their own musical sensibilities to help shape the sound of the new record. In between tours supporting their last album, Next Thing, Kline brought new songs to the band’s rehearsals, and together the members collectively participated in turning them into full band arrangements. As a result, the album’s staggering 18 tracks implement a range of instrumentations and recording methods unheard of on the albums preceding it, while still maintaining the succinctly sincere nature of Kline’s songwriting.
