Dillon Francis @ The Observatory 1/21/12

Just a couple of weeks ago I was pointing you in the direction of Simian Ghost and their delightful, sparkling track " Wolf Girl ", and whilst only one of you commented on the post (thanks Mum!), I consider it my duty to continue ramming Scandinavian pop music down your throats until you choke on beautiful melodies and die of perfectly written choruses. Where Simian Ghost base their tracks on shimmering electronic backgrounds, Francis have more of a straight up indie sound, with "Traktor"(funky cover art above) showing off a superbly catchy riff and lead-singer Petra's [...]

Tweet We first featured Francis here almost two years ago, but never gave them a proper introduction. Now, that time has come. Francis is a four-piece band from Sweden featuring three dudes (Petter Nygårdh on drums, Jerker Henriksson on guitar and Tim Grundtman on bass) and a dudette (Petra Mases on vocals and piano) that have been together since 2006. Despite having been together for almost six years now, they're not exactly prolific. In fact, the band has only [...]

Traktor - Francis I truly believe that when a strong connection exists between a group of musicians, that bond has a huge effect on the quality of their music. There almost seems to be a special form of unspoken communication that plays a role in both the band's growth and how listeners perceive them - generally that they have a genuine love and commitment to their sound. After listening to Francis , it came as no surprise that the members had been childhood friends in their native country of Sweden. Their music [...]

Dillon Francis @ Holy Ship @Revolution 2

Inbox strikes again. This time it came all the way from Sweden from the band Francis . "Traktor" is the single (out Jan. 23rd on Strangers Candy/Playground), off their forthcoming EP This Must Be Blood (out February 27). The indie pop band are coming off an eventful year of touring with The Tallest Man On Earth and releasing their well received debut album Lekomberg . Traditionally a band known for their stomping folk and blues, the new sound has morphed into a more rhythmic and experimental pop sound. Thats a good new years [...]

Dillon Francis Live at Fox Theatre in Boulder, CO Track ID anybody?

Swedish indie band, Francis , has been getting some nice buzz recently after touring with The Tallest Man On Earth. They do though, have not much in common with Kristian, as the group favors infectiously dark riffs, and pensive lyricism, to create surreal states of living. Check out "Traktor" which is from their new EP, This Must Be Blood , out February 27th. Via IS

Sorry for the lack of posts over the weekend; I have my excuses. Well, over the weekend I got sent this little indie electronic track by Francis.

This moombahcore remix of Kill the Noise's 'Kill the Noise' literally just dropped (two birds with one stone, get it?) As I hit F5 on the Fools Gold blog webpage, I saw a new post pop up and knew I had to dig for answers. Luckily Dillon Francis decided to take his creative buzzsaw to the newly released original and did it dirty in a way only Skrillex could typically do. While you wait for the link, build up some anticipation with the youtube video. Related posts: [...]

Paleys volledige naam is Reid Paley. Hij is Amerikaan en was in de jaren tachtig voorman van post-punk-bluesband The Five. Dat zal weinigen doen opveren. Dat is waarschijnlijk anders bij die andere naam, Francis. Francis´ volledige naam is Charles Michael...

So. You may or may not know that one of the HMCMB fold is lucky (read clever, diligent and hardworking) enough to be studying at Cambridge university. This would probably explain said member's lack of posting of late, we forgive him though, hopefully he'll end up making millions and i'll (Tom) be able to sponge off him and continue to plug music I love until i'm old, grey and continuously harking back to the 'good old days'. I can't wait. Benjamin Francis Leftwich, of our favourite artists at the moment here at HMCMB was set to [...]

On 4th Decemeber, Essex singer-songwriter Francis Neve releases a new EP; Dance Around The Fire. The talented lad mixes straight-up folk arrangements with his signature vocals, odd beats and full-band instrumentation to rather-lovely effect. You can watch Francis' brand new video below and we also caught up with him to quiz him on his Favourite Five... Favourite album of all time [...]

Tenho uma proposta interessante para todos os que lêem e ouvem este blog. A ideia é simples e está relacionada com os mais de 70 temas que tenho adicionado ao longo dos anos à Rádio Memória d'a trompa. Genericamente, peguei em todos os temas e ordenei-os cronologicamente. O primeiro data de 1960, o último de 1993. E o que vos proponho é uma viagem; pelo tempo; pela música portuguesa. Naturalmente, este é um exercício sem qualquer fundamento ou pressuposto histórico, pretende apenas dar uma ideia de alguma da música que se fez neste país desde a década de 60. [...]
