A highlight from the recent ‘Fit Me In’ EP, Frankie Cosmos has shared a new video for her track ‘Korean Food’.

Greta Kline goes swimming and slaps on the suncream in the new clip, ‘Fit Me In’ is a collaboration with Aaron Maine, aka Porches, who Kline also worked with on his recent track ‘Hour’.

Speaking of the clip for ‘Korean Food’, Kline says: “I filmed and edited the video a couple years ago before the song was finished. It’s my version of a pop music video – boat, pool, beach, lipstick, alcohol..but my way – camcorder, sunscreen, goggles, hummus. Kinda like how the song is sticky and emotional but sounds fun and glossy.”

Watch the video for ‘Korean Food’ below. Frankie Cosmos’ debut full-length is due later this year on Bayonet Records.

This child of two movie stars (Kevin Kline and Phoebe Cates) getting heaps of love from the bloggerati for her indie-rock record. It sounds like the ultimate exercise in empty hype, but Greta Kline’s solo project—which filters twee pop through a precociously blase attitude—is worth every word of praise it’s received.

“Young” is the shining star of Frankie Cosmos’ Fit Me In, but the rest of the tracks are only a notch below that: The reworked “Korean Food” works well as a sleepy opener, and her love song in miniature “Sand” is a perfectly succinct ode to New York. Greta Kline’s making the lateral move to a more synth-based sound — just like her boyfriend Aaron Maine is with Porches — but she’s still holding onto the glowing intimacy of her earlier work. The cover art sees the two of them bundled up under the covers, lumpy and sticking out at irregular angles, but still fitting together snugly. Likewise, there’s not a discomforting note on the EP, which emanates a welcoming warmth as we move over to the colder months.
