Frankie Cosmos – “Duet” Video
Frankie Cosmos released their latest album, Vessel, earlier this year, and today they’re sharing a music video for one of the best track from it, “Duet.” It’s a sweetly sad song and the Eliza Doyle-directed video matches that vibe. Greta Kline takes part in a CPR training session and falls in love with her test dummy. It morphs into a real-life human being, albeit one that’s pretty unresponsive, and Kline takes it around New York City with her, enjoying the company of someone that’s not even really there.
When we talked to Kline earlier this year, she specifically talked about this song, and it feels relevant to the video as well:
When I hear it, I’m like, What was I thinking when I was writing this? Why did I think that this was a good relationship to be having in this duet? And I think part of what’s really funny about it is that I’m singing it with myself, and it’s all about projecting this stuff onto someone else. There’s not even another person there — the duet is between me and what I’m hoping for. And what I’m hoping for is still messed up.
Watch the video and check out Frankie Cosmos’ upcoming run of tour dates below.
