## Resource

On this week’s Talkhouse Podcast we’ve got a pair of incredible songwriters who’ve also been frequent Talkhouse guests and contributors over the years: Emily Yacina and Greta Kline. Follow along here, as this could get confusing: Frankie Cosmos used to be Greta Kline’s stage name, but now it’s the name of the band that she fronts. Maybe that wasn’t too confusing. In any case, the sixth and latest Frankie Cosmos album, Different Talking, came out earlier this year, and it’s a stunner. Kline has been writing smart, wry, literate indie-pop for a decade, and this one feels both like a nod to her bedroom-pop past and a bold look forward. Check out “Vanity” from Different Talking right here. Emily Yacina also came up in the DIY/Bandcamp era, and has been releasing music for the last decade or so as well—she collaborated with Alex G early on. Yacina’s latest album is the heady, expertly crafted Veilfall, which was at least partially inspired by a series of “death salons” she hosted while making it, where participants would share stories about grief and dying. The resulting album isn’t nearly the downer you might expect, considering that fact—it’s up there with the best she’s done. Check out “Holy for a Moment” from Veilfall right here. In this lively conversation, recorded while Emily and Greta were in the middle of a tour together, they chat about being connected to your inner child, tearing up for Talkhouse, and how sometimes releasing music feels like “shitting into the void.” Enjoy. 0:00 – Intro 2:12 – Start of the chat 2:50 – On their adventures touring together 5:20 – On being connected to your inner child 6:20 – On balancing your setlist for new and old fans 10:30 – On making Frankie Cosmos' new album, Different Talking 14:18 – On the vulnerable moments making Emily Ya…
