I stanned for him so hard. Don't let us down, francis.

pretty cool. definitely feels like soundtrack music more than a song.

i dont know what frankie is up to but the new inc. album is fantastic

i saw this movie but it was on an airplane so i could barely hear much of the score on my earbuds.
francis makes a cameo in a brief shot, as a musician performing at a fancy museum fundraiser.

robot & frank sdtk also up on spotify now

so the robot & frank score is pretty standard movie score fare, not really what I expected

i'm under the impression francis is kind of in charge of all the visual concepts even if he's collaborating w/ others

xp no major label backing is my guess. He definitely has all his ducks in a row but my understanding is that he's gotten this far rather autonomously.

lol, I woke up with it going through my head, and then I spent 10 minutes this morning trying to do the step from the video before I realized I was probably annoying the shit out of my downstairs neighbors

I was actually whistling it when the elevator opened and I think I creeped out this lady who thought I was whistling at her
apparently this is put out by something called Good Years Recordings.

So dope the way he comes out of sillouette right on the beginning of the first chorus, then goes back into sillouette right on the beginning of the second verse

it's weird how the cmera man's shadow gets in the shot; I wonder if it's intentional

the EP is on spotify now
the whole thing is mildly anticlimactic because two of the songs have already been kicking around for a while, the third is dope but the fourth is forgettable. Hope there's something more in the works.

Friends has ten mil plays on Spotify, guess the Bon Iver and Kanye connections help. In general the album seems to be getting more play than past ones.

May I Have This Dance gets a lot of radio play on WFUV (AAA station). Not my fav tune but glad for him to get some exposure anyway.

I kind of slept on Just For Us. Drags a little for me at times, but a couple of tracks are really standing out for me:

A lot of his songs feel like they really want to be hits but are produced a little too stiffly, like demos.
