Haunted Things is a series of four extended plays by American indie pop artist Frankie Cosmos.

Reception

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]
