Today’s Random Album of the Day is I’ve never been in love before baby, pretend I’m sick from Zebu Fur, aka Frankie Cosmos. Frankie Cosmos is great! So this should be good. Frankie Cosmos is basically bedroom recordings of Slacker Rock or Indie Folk.

Like most Frankie Cosmos records this is very stripped down. Short songs with good melodies and emotive lyrics. Not polished at all but raw. Still the recording quality is okay mostly with occasional blips.

I’n not sure what makes this raw lo-fi music work for me but I suppose it’s a combination of the rawness and the melodies that sneak into their songs.

Rating: 9.0

Favorite Track(s): “The Infinity Days”, “fingernails”, “Walking tune 18”, “you used to be cool”, “I’ve never been in love before baby, pretend I’m sick”. Like a hardcore record, no time to do much but write down a list…

Keep or Trash: Keep.
