Andy Frasco & The U.N., Cosmic Collective

Andy Frasco is a music veteran who’s never lost his youthful enthusiasm for rock. Hope even permeates his mordant 2022 single/video, “Oh What A Life,” on which features Frasco as a disheveled disillusioned circus clown. The Jangly, jaunty “Iowa Moon” off upcoming LP ‘L’Optimist’ is even sunnier. Charlotte’s Cosmic Collective are equally eclectic and upbeat, with tunes built on crab-walking bass, sparkling keys and Nikki Enslow’s bright, feathered vocals.
