Haunted Things is a series of four extended plays by American indie pop artist Frankie Cosmos.
Reception[edit]
Writing for Pitchfork Media, Arielle Gordon rated this EP series 7.6 out of 10, noting that these songs were composed on piano, which is a novelty for this musical act, and results in "an affectation that plays out in the small rhymes and repetitions that punctuate the EPs".[2] In 34th Street Magazine, Julia Davis wrote that band leader Greta Kline "has mastered indie rock" with this series.[1] Discussing the first release for Paste, Clare Martin notes the sparse instrumentation and considers the music "almost Joni Mitchell-esque" and the group "wield vulnerability like a weapon".[3]
