Francis and the Lights

so what's up with this dude

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

well there's this anyway:

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

nm I guess the vocals come in late

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.

definitely ramping something up

Love this track.

just heard this, nice

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 in to "ETC"-- is that the only new thing out there yet?

the "it'll be better" EP really disappointed me when it came out 3 years ago but I totally love it now

new track up, says EP Nov 25. The song is in that weird concert film he did.

don't know why that isn't embedding, but it's dope

the dude who does his videos has great concepts

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

xp yeah that would make sense

don't get why this dude isn't famous by now, basically

"Like a Dream" is in my head 24/7 now.

new EP is up: https://soundcloud.com/francisandthelights/sets/like-a-dream-ep

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.

one of these days my mind will stop racing
and i'll get me some sleep
cause i'm ready for the big time
is it ready for me

drake loves him

"Like a Dream" is in my head 24/7 now.

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.

Wondering what's up with this guy now, probably free-associated to him bc of Prince's death.

???

something on his website about playing at Syracuse with Chance the Rapper last month, but otherwise not much sign of activity.

Well hey

yyyyessss

so dope so far btw

yea i like this

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.
