Hello and welcome to episode 168 of the ACPG Podcast.
This week Ben is zooming with the one of the most relaxed men in music, JW Francis. Ben in Newcastle and JW in Paris, they spoke about this new album, touring, walking, and self-created tours. Which sounds amazing.
Indie-rock, jangle, slacker, bedroom pop and softly-whirring psych combine to build his 'Dream House' - the foundations held in earthy human emotion, with a roof in the clouds. Across 12 quirky, technicolour sonic vignettes, JW Francis showcases every side of his wholesome 3D approach to guitar pop.
When JW isn’t writing songs about his own life or off-kilter imagery, he writes about other people – most notably around February when he writes valentines songs on his fans’ behalf. 'Dream House' is in fact built around this collection of glorious tracks written for other people.
Thank you JW for zooming with us and thank you to Thom for setting up the interview.
See you next week for Frankie Cowan of Frankie and Scenarios and The Vaccines.
