Artist
Born and raised in Hornchurch, Essex, Francis started playing the guitar and writing songs at the age of 12, forming his first band, Next Of Six, at 16. A brief stint in indie outfit The Last followed, with Chris Hayden (Florence & The Machine) on drums, before Francis decided to concentrate on solo material and a career in sound-engineering. He opened his FRR studio in East London in early 2009 and ‘The Second Time We First Met,’ was recorded with Francis singing lead vocals and playing almost all instruments, including guitar, bass, drums and keyboards. † September 20th sees the release of ‘The Second Time We First Met,’ the seven-track debut. With influences including Roger Waters, God Speed, Mogwai, A Silver Mount Zion, Mice Parade and Cinematic Orchestra, ‘The Second Time We First Met’ is an intimate collection of emotive lo-fi pop, narrating the lifespan of a relationship. Yes, it’s a concept album, but only if you insist. † “Each song is a different stage of the relationship,” says Francis (not his real name). “I’m not addressing why it doesn’t work though, it’s more about documenting the flow.” Read more: http://www.myspace.com/francisneve?actp=n%2b0prKAebczfG13CmB%2fL170xxzjSK8k%2f19igSi%2f1c3uQLTXTYANJMky0qJd%2b9I2kJJqv%2fyDnSyB%2fGzySp0MlCGAEtpk2AK3ERpmmXhRsYsnNnzDR2lGHReY%2fagIbToFYuBXFOVl37JUliUnDhWKx8atnI2In0pTGSrJxxoEQlcOPbTC8%2fmWIi1oSy1I%2brIPtX%2fKEOC0BIpStZccoT%2fl%2bUyudcK7R8mCc6qp1EtH3JeAFieBoJMnSIzXc1sgKo5Uz#ixzz0wasFr6Ux User-contributed text is avail
