"Her songs are dark and feisty, almost brutal at times, then again gentle and fragile. Frankie’s songwriting covers a large spectrum and an incredibly versatile voice precisely portrays all that rage, suffering and love.
The opening song “Boy Wolf”, which unfolds in 6 slow minutes over unhurriedly plucked chords, works like a stronghold against people with no attention span. The pressing intensity of “Everything Everything” is reminiscent of Jeff Buckley, “Going Away” floats above mellotron and gently fractured guitar chords. The climax – already a stand out on MySpace – is “The Tops”, with its mysterious harmonies and the characteristic sound unique to “Pocketknife”. - Rolling Stone Berlin 2008
A blazing debut album, Pocketknife contains beautifully crafted songs about seduction, deceit and confession, ambition, mediocrity and violence. It's intense, passionate, heart-breaking, honest, bitter and sometimes it's funny, too. With sounds ranging from 60's mellotron to cinematic cellos; slow wintry pop to manic electric guitars and an incredible voice that opens from the tenderest of whispers into a bruising roar.

From emotionally charged Eltheridge bellows to sweet Bic Runga whispers, often in the same song, Kat is unflinching in her delivery and lyrics. You'd be a fool to miss Kat Frankie.
