Hannah Frances Releases New Single/Video, "Falling From and Further" & Expands Tour !
Hannah Frances unveils her new single/video, “Falling From and Further” — marking Frances’ first new composition following her breakthrough 2024 album, Keeper of the Shepherd — and expanded summer tour dates. Awarded Pitchfork’s Best New Music, Keeper of the Shepherd received a wealth of praise for its ornate arrangements, cutting lyricism, and incisive finger-picking performed by Frances. “Falling From and Further” wastes no time, picking up where Keeper finished and cutting deep to the core. “The fear of everyone leaving keeps me leaving first,” Frances belts atop free-jazz layers of saxophone, clarinet, and propulsive percussion.
“Falling From and Further” is accompanied by a stunning video helmed by Frances herself. The “Falling From and Further” video sees Frances’ backing band amidst saturated greenery, and presents an abstract physical manifestation of the track’s themes. The single follows Hannah Frances’ brief run of US tour dates, and precedes her forthcoming UK/EU tour. Alongside a previously-announced combination of headlining solo and full band (“Hannah Frances Ensemble”) performances, Frances today announces an expansion to her overseas stint. Stretching throughout the summer’s end, Frances will join Florist for a string of solo performances in Berlin, Paris, Milan and more. The Hannah Frances Ensemble will return stateside later this fall for a just-announced performance at National Sawdust on November 14th. All shows are listed below, and new tickets will be on sale beginning this Friday at 10am local time.
Frances' touring lands amidst Keeper of the Shepherd’s physical reissue, bringing a newly-pressed Birch White variant of Frances’ “intricate yet craggy” (Chicago Tribune) album to a slew of independent record stores beginning this Friday, July 11th. Prior to going abroad, Frances will celebrate the physical release with an intimate solo in-store performance at Fire Talk Shop (67 West St., Greenpoint).
