Fran Shares New Single "God", Sophomore Album 'Leaving' is Out January 20th

Chicago’s Fran are releasing their last album single, “God” today. Wistfully contemplative, the song presents another keen take of melancholic entanglement set to effortless melodic guitar and string arrangements that feel astutely impactful, making her another force to watch in the constantly evolving Chicago music scene. The track comes paired with a lyric video made by Jacobsen that juxtaposes scenes from a desolate midwestern winter, accurately refracting "God"'s pondering of life's bigger questions.

On the song Jacobson says; “God" is about noticing how things change and how they stay the same.”

Fran’s debut album, A Private Picture, which was released in November of 2019 garnered praise from Pitchfork, NPR Music, Stereogum, Paste Magazine, The Chicago Reader, Bandcamp and many more. Fran’s sophomore album, Leaving, will be out on January 20th via Fire Talk Records. On their new record Fran sort through grief and anxieties around accelerating climate change and the uncertain future we’re collectively facing. Jacobson, the songwriter and multi-instrumentalist behind Fran, uses her sophomore album as a vehicle for acceptance; turning from the easily obsessable darkness and looking to faith; faith in humanity, faith in our shared struggle, faith in something larger than us all, to move forward.
