Hannah Frances Announces New Album, Headlining Tour, & Shares New Single/Video !
Composer, vocalist, guitarist and poet Hannah Frances announces her new album, Nested in Tangles, out October 10th via Fire Talk, presents lead single/video “Surviving You,” and plots a headlining tour. With this distinctive body of work, Hannah Frances solidifies herself as an artist of insurgent emotional clarity, committed to personal truth and self-actualization. Nested in Tangles spans the realms of progressive rock, avant-folk, and jazz, but remains anchored throughout with Frances’ signature vocal leaps and percussive, polyrhythmic fingerpicking.
Frances wrote Nested in Tangles throughout 2023 and 2024, almost immediately following the completion of her critically acclaimed album, Keeper of the Shepherd. On Nested in Tangles, Frances narrates complex stories of familial estrangement, emotional trauma and a deepening of her own sense of trust, through a collection of intricate, dizzying and large-scale compositions. Alongside longtime collaborator Kevin Copeland, Frances brought on Daniel Rossen of Grizzly Bear to produce and arrange a pair of tracks, and enlisted friends to contribute horn, wind, and string arrangements. Born from an expanded range of musical influences including contemporary avant-garde classical composers and 70s progressive rock, Nested in Tangles surprises in its dynamics and compositional detours.
Hannah Frances will embark on a headlining US tour in support of Nested in Tangles this fall, including stops in Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Washington DC and more to be announced. Frances’ headlining run follows her EU/UK tour which begins this Sunday at Green Man Festival, and includes headlining shows in London, Manchester, Glasgow and more. Afterwards, Frances will join Florist for performances in Berlin, Paris and beyond. Later this winter, Frances will support Foxwarren in Los Angeles, San Francisco and other west coast dates. A full list of performances are below, and tickets are on sale now.
