About Next Thing
“Next Thing” arrives at The Bowery Ballroom as part of “Frankie Cosmos: 10 Years of Next Thing,” with Greta Kline’s project moving between indie rock and pop in tightly drawn songs. The set leans on close noticing and small domestic scenes, built from brief lines and unforced melodies rather than big refrains. There’s no clear NYC premiere history attached, but the Bowery room situates it in a long downtown tradition of songwriting that favors detail over display. The effect is quietly rigorous, like diary entries edited into verse.
