The never ending story of … Covid and how the pandemic changed the lives of our beloved artists. As far as the band Frankie Cosmos is concerned, it was initially at a loss: Do we even want to continue in this phase of the ordered withdrawal? The 15-song INNER WORLD PEACE collection, which is quite lavish, not only gives a kind of answer to the frequently asked question in the title, the songs also mark a gentle change in the band’s sound universe, which is based on the musical resting points of the members: rock music , which singer and songwriter Greta Kline listened to as a teenager, 70s folk pop, also ambient.

All wrapped up in the stories and melodies of an indie-pop storyteller who made a name for herself as a diarist on the New York DIY scene and opened up a cinematic stage for self-reflection in her cosmos. On “One Year Stand” she finds her personal resume for this moment of recording, singing and balancing on drones: “I’m not worried about the / Rest of my life / Because you are here today / I go back in time / I’ ma cast iron”. “Empty Head” is perhaps the perfect narration to stillness and agony that Kline & co. put into sound here, a song for which shoegazerism should be reinvented once more.
