Released 29th May 2026

Francis of Delirium follows up her acclaimed debut album with Run, Run Pure Beauty. Featuring the singles ‘Little Black Dress’ and ‘It’s a Beautiful Life’, it serves as an excavation of hope in bleak times. Recorded after coming off tours with both Bôa and Blondshell, the album was produced by Jana Bahrich (Francis of Delirium herself) and long time collaborator Chris Hewett, and mixed by Nicolas Vernhes (Deerhunter, Dirty Projectors, Silver Jews, Wild Nothing). Its eleven songs of discovery, despair and perseverance ultimately serve as a mirror on its creator and is a brilliant next instalment in the Francis of Delirium arc.

An artist who seeks to connect with her listeners on a deeper level, she’s made hope and inner strength central themes on her new album, Run, Run Pure Beauty. Jana says the title track is “an imagining of the world after it has been destroyed by humans and technology. Thrashing against what humans have left behind, ultimately the pure beauty of nature wins out.” Wanting to bring different perspectives into her songwriting with this record - informed by both her travels and the tumultuous times we find ourselves in - she’s also brought about a progression in her sound with these new songs somehow sounding larger, with undeniable harmonies and more orchestration.

“Jana Bahrich seems too young for this tremendous debut’s ambitious anthems…” Uncut, 8/10 'Lighthouse' Album Review 

"Capturing a similar melancholy sparkle to indie favourites such as Japanese Breakfast and Snail Mail, Lighthouse's 11 tracks encapsulate both bittersweet, desperate yearning and a breathless new romance; throughout, the golden-hour world they live in is astonishingly vivid. Bahrich’s choruses, almost every one, are lump-in-your-throat gorgeous.” NME

"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 

"In a time when the world often feels fragmented, Francis of Delirium offers a message of hope and unity.” Dork
