Zentropy is the debut album from American indie rock act Frankie Cosmos.
Editors at AllMusic Guide rated this release 4.5 out of five stars, declaring it an Album Pick, with critic Fred Thomas calling it "an impossibly rare instance of unabashedly twee songs that transcend self-consciousness and overstated humility to connect with visceral emotional currents" that "is astonishingly complete, communicating enormous ideas effortlessly and approaching perfection with its 27 minutes".[2] Writing for Pitchfork, Mike Powell rated this release an 8.0 out of 10, calling it "a playful but disciplined album".[1] The publication later ranked Zentropy as the 133rd best album of the 2010s.[3]
