Frankie Cosmos unveil new cut "Wannago"

12 August 2019, 15:12 | Written by Cerys Kenneally

Frankie Cosmos have returned with "Wannago", the 11th track from their forthcoming album Close It Quietly.

"Wannago" arrives after earlier singles "Rings (On A Tree)" and "Windows".

The new offering arrives with a visual starring comedian Catherine Cohen.

Greta Kline says of the new single, ""Wannago" is an older song that I thought would never come out. Every time we ever tried to arrange it we gave up or lied that we would come back to it later. It felt too hard, and I found some of the lyrics embarrassing. Then Alex encouraged us to give it another shot because he really loved the demo. We ended up all working together to turn this into a song that feels sparkly and distinct; and it’s really fun to play. I’ve accepted the cheesier lyrics as part of the youthful glow of the song, it feels very wide-eyed and is purely about love, distance, and life."

Drummer Luke Pyenson says of the video, "I thought a baking competition theme would translate well to a music video. In some ways I think the lighthearted drama, tension, and release of that format mirrors the ebb and flow of emotions (lyrically and musically) in this song, and so it was kind of a natural fit."

Frankie Cosmos' Close It Quietly record is their first since last year's Vessel, and was recorded at Brooklyn’s Figure 8 Studios with co-producer Gabe Wax.

"Wannago" is out now. Close It Quietly drops on 6 September via Sub Pop. Frankie Cosmos play London's Islington Assembly Hall on 22 October. Find out more.
