Francis of Delirium - Lighthouse
Released 22nd March 2024
Since first emerging in early 2020 with the anthemic ‘Quit Fucking Around’ and releasing a critically acclaimed 3-part EP trilogy between 2020 and 2022, Francis of Delirium gained praise for distilling the angst and despair that plagues a generation who faces an uncertain present and future.
Francis of Delirium was shortlisted for 2022’s highly prestigious ESNS Music Moves Europe Award, as well as gaining accolades from the world’s music press and supporting some of the biggest artists on the planet, at still only 22 years old. A restless energy and desire to connect with the listener lies at the core of the project, with Jana’s personal lyrics being underpinned by a fierce rock sound that is as liberating as it is intense. Hailed as a Gen Z’er excitingly redrawing 90s classic indie rock (unsurprising given her chief collaborator Chris Hewett hails from Seattle and is three decades her senior) a deep admiration for contemporary acts such as Car Seat Headrest, Japanese Breakfast, Mitski, Phoebe Bridgers and Sufjan Stevens is also abundantly clear.
The upcoming album is titled ‘Lighthouse’, as their music has always straddled the line of light and darkness, both musically and lyrically. Expanding the instrumentation by incorporating more pianos and acoustic guitars, the tracks on ‘Lighthouse’ are intimate and disarming.
“Tackling big existential questions and turbulent emotions, (Francis of Delirium) throw off promising sparks of brilliance.” Pitchfork, 7.4 EP Review
"There’s a bit of Pixies and Snail Mail and the Beths in there, and maybe some Lomelda and Lucy Dacus and Built To Spill. You know, that really f*cking good shit." Stereogum
“If (upcoming EP Wading) sounds anything like their newest single ‘Let It All Go’, we're in for something very good.” The FADER
"Bahrich’s lyrics pour out in an intimate stream of consciousness.... One of the tiniest countries in Europe has yielded some big emo rock." Consequence of Sound
"Jana Bahrich’s imagery is vivid and vulnerable, offering a grunge-infused poeticism akin to Bully and The Breeders." The Line of Best Fit

Expected Release 15th January 2027 Friendly Fires’ new and fourth album Dig Deeper lives up to its title in more ways than one. It’s the sound of one of the world’s best-loved indie-dance bands doubling down on what makes their song DNA so special. It’s two childhood best mates, Ed Macfarlane and Edd Gibson, peeling back the layers to make their most profound music yet. And it’s the result of a revitalised self-assurance and self-reliance after working on new material for nearly a decade. Tim...
