Frankie Cosmos, the project of Greta Kline, along with her backing band, recently announced a new digital-only series, Haunted Items, where she will release new songs each week over the course of a month. Now Kline has shared its final three tracks: “Rings on a Tree,” “Allowed,” and “Today’s Special.” Listen below.

Haunted Items features new stripped down songs written for the piano. Previously she shared four songs from the project, “Dancing,” “Tunnel,” “February,” “In the World,” “String” (which was only 42 seconds long), and “Eternal.” “Dancing” was one of our Songs of the Week.

Kline had this to say about the project in a previous press release: “Items themselves are harmless unless they are infused with some kind of energy. These items are haunted by fear, consumerism, commitment, love, loss, the list goes on…I had some of these songs stuck inside me, mostly because I wrote a lot of them for piano and didn’t know how to record them, even as demos. My friend Elia gifted me with 10 hours of recording time with Mark Yoshizumi, and this winter felt like the perfect opportunity to get these out of my system and haunt you with them instead. I have always been afraid of items being haunted, but when you think about it, every item is, right?”

Frankie Cosmos released their last album album, Vessel, back in March 2018 via Sub Pop, the band’s first for the iconic Seattle label.
