Frankie Cosmos Drops Whimsical Video Featuring Tracey Ullman
Indie rock darlings Frankie Cosmos have just unveiled an enchanting new music video for their track "Pressed Flower," and it’s packed with charm—thanks in no small part to the iconic Tracey Ullman. The video marks the lead single from their eagerly awaited album, Different Talking, set to hit shelves on June 27 via Sub Pop Records.
A Day in NYC with Tracey Ullman
Directed by Adam Kolodny, the video transforms New York City into a playful playground as Ullman takes on the role of a cheeky Manhattanite. Sporting a range of disguises, she stirs up delightful chaos while the band members pop up as bewildered bystanders. Greta Kline, the band’s frontwoman, couldn’t hold back her excitement: “It’s a dream come true to have Tracey in our video. She brings such depth and humor to every character she plays.”
The whimsical antics perfectly set the tone for "Pressed Flower," which Kline describes as a musical exploration of self-identity—navigating the turbulent waters of who you’ve become while still holding onto pieces of your past. Combining reflective lyrics with an upbeat melody, this track serves as a splendid introduction to the band’s new direction.
The New Album and Upcoming Tours
But that’s not all! The announcement of Different Talking comes alongside a hefty world tour that kicks off on September 3 in Kingston, NY. Fans can look forward to a North American leg featuring talented support acts like Fantasy Of A Broken Heart and Moontype from September 3-20, followed by a second wave of shows with Chris Cohen and Emily Yacina running from October 9-25. The European adventure begins on November 15 in Dublin with the indie group Babehoven.
Excitingly, pre-orders for Different Talking are now open, with multiple formats available, including the must-have “Loser Edition” on opaque red vinyl. This album follows the release of their critically acclaimed singles "Bitch Heart" and "Vanity," both praised for pushing boundaries while keeping that signature intimate lyricism intact.
What’s Next for Frankie Cosmos?
As Frankie Cosmos gears up to release their sixth studio album, the inclusion of Ullman adds a delightful sprinkle of comedic brilliance to the "Pressed Flower" video. It’s a promising glimpse into the band’s evolving artistry, offering fans a delightful mix of nostalgia and innovation as they prepare for a summer of unforgettable music.
