Frankie Cosmos, Lomelda, Stef Chura

Launched under the K Records-influenced penmanship of Greta Kline, Vessel marks the project’s 52nd release from the New Yorker’s bedroom-built archive. Now crafting indie-pop as a quartet, Frankie Cosmos’ Sub Pop debut sharpened Kline’s simply-put, highly empathic outlook. Texan Hannah Read’s rich poetics join as Lomelda, and Detroit songwriter Stef Chura opens with bristly guitar rock. – Rachel Rascoe
