Frankie Cosmos release new cut "Empty Head"

18 October 2022, 12:02 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Frankie Cosmos have shared a new cut titled "Empty Head", which lands as the final taster of their Inner World Peace album before it arrives in full on Friday (21 October).

"Empty Head" is accompanied by a Sophia Bennett Holmes-directed video, and is the fourth outing from the band's Inner World Peace album, following "F.O.O.F.", "Aftershook" and "One Year Stand".

Lead vocalist Greta Kline says the release "is about wishing for inner peace, and conversely: spiraling. It's about self-control, and the fear of unlocking myself and overflowing. It’s also about finding joy in small moments - walking in circles, hoping to see the neighbour's dog. I'm so happy we got to work with Sophia Bennett Holmes again for this music video (I last worked with her in 2014 on the "Art School" video). I love the concept Sophia came up with - it tells it’s own story that fits in with the story of the song, but also takes it somewhere else. To me, the video is about blossoming because of a chill perspective (once I stop trying to jump into flight, I lift off the ground with ease); and then letting go of the need to be perceived, and instead disappearing and floating into the sunset. It perfectly captures the way meditation works - that once you stop focusing and trying too hard, it comes naturally."

Inner World Peace will follow 2019's Close It Quietly. The new album is co-produced by Frankie Cosmos, Nate Mendelsohn and Katie Von Schleicher, and was recorded at Figure 8 Recording in Brooklyn, New York.

"Empty Head" is out now. Frankie Cosmos' Inner World Peace album will be released through Sub Pop Records on Friday (21 October), and is available to pre-order now.
