(SOLO)
“Toisen albuminsa hiljattain julkaissut indierockin nouseva nimi Francis of Delirium palaa saareen intiimille soolokeikalle! Kansainvälisissä musamedioissa (Pitchfork, DIY Magazine, Glide Magazine) ylistystä kerännyt yhtye on syyskuussa lähdössä liki 50 keikan mittaiselle Pohjois-Amerikan ja Euroopan kiertueelle, mutta sitä ennen Ö Fest -yleisö pääsee eksklusiivisesti kuulemaan uunituoretta ja vanhaa Francis of Deliriumia riisuttuina ja intiimeinä sovituksina. Vuoden 2024 keikka oli upea ja unohtumaton - on luonnollisesti suuri kunnia, että Francis of Delirium saapuu jälleen Suomeen ja Ö Festiin!”
The epitome of a modern artist, Jana Bahrich does most things herself, no matter how painstaking - writing, producing, directing. This has helped give her band Francis of Delirium a unique identity, with her rock confessionals breathing new life into the genre and her paintings creating a striking design aesthetic. Three EPs - All Change (2020), Wading (2021), The Funhouse (2022) and a striking debut album - Lighthouse (2024) - on and Jana has Francis of Delirium flying.
While the EP’s fizzed with promise, her debut album Lighthouse landed its punches. Seeking
a more vulnerable and open sonic palette, she wove in pop elements to create anthems that celebrated heartbreak and love. New album, Run, Run Pure Beauty, serves as an excavation of hope in bleak times. Produced by Jana and long time collaborator Chris Hewett, and mixed by Nicolas Vernhes (Deerhunter), its eleven songs of discovery, despair and perseverance ultimately serve as a mirror on its creator and is a brilliant next installment in the Francis of Delirium arc.
