The 25 year old songwriter makes music for people, to people, whether crooning about his love for his best friend (“Joe Fusco”) or telling jokes between songs at one of his live shows. After putting in his time supporting other artists—running a music magazine, Rare Candy, and a recording studio, CU Records—Francis set off to make art of his own, imprinted with this love for others. JW Francis makes what he calls 'midnight rock': straight-forward bedroom pop ballads that sound like they were written late at night to a dear friend. With hints of Mac Demarco and the Velvet Underground, his songs are mixtures of dedicated craftsmanship and heartfelt selfexpression. With Jonathan Richman’s sincerity and Calvin Johnson’s work ethic, Francis’s sensibility touch every stage of the creative process from inception to performance to production to distribution. Whether you're in the tall grass of Sheep's Meadow, or just the comfort of your couch, put your hands behind your head, close your eyes, and float on the warm, groovy ballads of JW Francis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide A :\u003cbr\u003eHome \/ Is That the One \/ Lofi \/ Good Time \/ All There \/ I Told You\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide B :\u003cbr\u003eEverything \/ New York \/ Loving Nobody \/ Gold \/ I'm Down, Whatever\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53416889975127,"sku":"P-100846-","price":21.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/6500\/8471\/files\/JW-Francis-We-Share-A-Similar-Joy-LP-100846-1-1599208330.jpg?v=1778076177"},{"product_id":"jw-francis-wanderkid-lp-coloured","title":"JW Francis - Wanderkid - LP COLOURED","description":"\u003cp\u003eJW Francis burst onto the scene with his critically acclaimed debut ‘We Share a Similar Joy’, with features from DIY and Line of Best Fit to being named Album of The Day on BBC 6 Music. His warm, affable melodies and comforting lyrics earned him fans on both sides of the Atlantic, and now he returns with his sophomore album WANDERKID, a concept album about a wandering anti-hero. WANDERKID hones in on JW’s dreamy soundscapes and explores themes of escapism, whilst still maintaining that sense of comfort and intimacy so beautifully demonstrated in his debut. To celebrate the release, JW is going on a 2,000 mile walking journey across the Eastern United States along the Appalachian Trail. With WANDERKID, JW Francis is further cementing his place as a future stalwart in the alternative New York scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide A :\u003cbr\u003eJohn, Take Me With You \/ I Love You \/ Maybe \/ Make Another Record \/ Only With You \/ Holy Mountain\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSide B :\u003cbr\u003eWANDERKID \/ Don't Fall Apart \/ Fake It Till You Make It \/ I'm Probably A Ghost \/ Cars\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53420025512279,"sku":"P-110497-","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/6500\/8471\/files\/JW-Francis-Wanderkid-LP-COLOURED-110497-1-1638271946.jpg?v=1778087973"},{"product_id":"jw-francis-dream-house-cd-digisleeve","title":"JW Francis - Dream House - CD DIGISLEEVE","description":"\u003cp\u003eNew York’s very own JW Francis announces his brand new album ‘Dream House’ – his third with London based label Sunday Best Recordings. Coinciding with the announcement is the gloriously up-beat new single ‘Casino,’ which offers a glimpse into what to expect on his forthcoming feel-good LP. When JW isn’t writing songs about his own life or surreal imagery, he writes about other people – most notably around the month of February when he writes valentines songs on his fans’ behalf. ‘Dream House’ encapsulates all of this and forms a collection of glorious tracks written for other people: “Every year, about 6 weeks before Valentine’s Day, I make the following post on social media: “If you send me the name of your Valentine, and the reason you love them, I’ll write a song for them on your behalf.” That is how Dream House was born, 3 years ago. Over the past three years, I have received over 300 requests from fans to write songs for their loved ones. All of the songs on Dream House come from this project, some of them have been reworked to speak more to the artist’s life, others have remained exactly as they were first written. Ultimately, this is an album about caring for others, and the way we express it.” Written and recorded at the start of 2021 in NYC, ‘Dream House’ is slightly reminiscent of The Strokes and even has hints of Lou Reed, however the project is still quintessential JW Francis with its blissful melodies and dreamy instrumentation; perfectly fitting given the album’s title. Along with the announcement comes ‘Casino’, a track about pursuing your dreams, as JW explains, “This song is about taking a gamble on myself as a musician, quitting my job, and living the life I want to be living. The video explores the two lives I was living before I got the opportunity to follow my dreams and doing music full time.” ‘Dream House’ follows the hugely well received ‘WANDERKID’ and ‘We Share a Similar Joy’ and once again proves why JW is the king of laid-back and effortlessly cool song-making. Released on 27th January, the album will be available on both cream and Green vinyl, as well as CD. Check out the full track-list below! Straight off the bat of a North American tour with indie pop outfit Mild High Club, JW Francis is back to releasing new music with 'Our Story'. The new single follows the delightful 'Make Another Record 2' and 'Sweet as a Rose', which both received high amounts of praise and were included many playlist editorials. JW will be playing new music on the road this summer as he prepares for a mini UK tour, including an already SOLD OUT date at Brixton's iconic The Windmill, as well as many festival slots.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53424936550743,"sku":"P-124849-","price":12.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/6500\/8471\/files\/JW-Francis-Dream-House-CD-DIGISLEEVE-124849-1-1659523205.jpg?v=1778154857"},{"product_id":"jw-francis-dream-house-lp-coloured","title":"JW Francis - Dream House - LP COLOURED","description":"\u003cp\u003eNew York’s very own JW Francis announces his brand new album ‘Dream House’ – his third with London based label Sunday Best Recordings.
