Lush & Dreamlike Sophomore Album Pressed On Cherry Red Vinyl LP!
Neal Francis' sophomore album offers up a body of work both enchanting and painfully self-aware. Recorded entirely on tape and mixed by Grammy Award-winner Dave Fridmann (Spoon, Tame Impala, Flaming Lips), the record spotlights Francis's refined yet free-spirited piano playing, an instrument he took up at age four. The songs came to life over the course of a tumultuous year spent living in a (possibly) haunted church in Chicago. The result: a portrait of profound upheaval and weary resilience.
Reviews for Neal's 2019 debut album, Changes:
"The reincarnation of Allen Toussaint." - Craig Charles, BBC Radio 6
"Think New Orleans meets the Midwest with a little bit of California sun shining in the background." - TwinCitiesMedia.net
"There's a good chance you'll have heard of Francis by the time the year is over...classic Funk, Soul and R&B." - Cincinnati CityBeat
"...gleefully mired In 70s style funk." - NPR
"Soulful style...uplifting vibe..." - Dusty Groove
"Instant Americana-funk classic...R&B, blues and touches of gospel and good old fashioned funk merge into pure beauty and soul here, making the appetite and excitement for whatever Francis does next all the more intense." - Record Crates United
