Close It Quietly

Close It Quietly is a continual reframing of the known. Its like giving yourself a haircut or rearranging your room. You know your hair. You know your room. Heres the same hair, the same room, seen again as something new. Close It Quietly takes the trademark Frankie Cosmos micro-universe and upends it, spilling outwards into a swirl of referentiality thats a marked departure from earlier releases, imagining and reimagining motifs and sounds throughout the album. The bands fourth studio release is a manifestation of their collaborative spirit: Greta Kline and longtime bandmates Lauren Martin (synth), Luke Pyenson (drums), and Alex Bailey (bass) luxuriated in studio time with Gabe Wax, who engineered and co-produced the record with the band. Recording close to home at Brooklyns Figure 8 Studios grounded the band, and their process was enriched by working closely with Wax, whose intuition and attention to detail made the familiar unfamiliar and allowed the band to reshape their own contexts.
