‘Find What You’ve Been Missing’- House Cat Frankie, sharp observations wrapped in sunlit folk-pop energy
There’s an easy charm to House Cat Frankie, but beneath the warmth of ‘Find What You’ve Been Missing’ lies a quietly perceptive piece of songwriting that cuts closer than its breezy exterior first suggests.
