With equal parts nuanced observation and raw outpouring of feeling, the Philadelphia-based band confront a constellation of problems eroding the American ideal (gentrification, gun violence, the crushing weight of late capitalism), ornamenting every track with their explosive yet elegant breed of indie-rock/post-punk. Threading that commentary with intense self-reflection, Great American Painting ultimately fulfills a mission The Districts first embraced upon forming as teenagers in small-town Pennsylvania: an urge to create undeniably cathartic music that obliterates hopelessness and invites their audience along in dreaming up a far better future. Francis of DeliriumBorn out of a bedroom, Francis of Delirium was created by 18 year-old Jana Bahrich (Vancouver, CA) who later invited drummer/producer, Chris Hewett(Seattle, USA) to help her form an indie rock band. Based in Luxembourg, together they synthesize grunge and folk to deliver a powerful sound that supports Jana’s high energy vocals and her genuine passion to connect with each member of the audience; intimacy and vulnerability lie at the heart of her lyrics. First appearing back in January with the instantaneous track ‘Quit Fucking Around’, they followed it up a few months later with the more reflective but equally potent ‘Circles’ (“An incredibly powerful catharsis, a controlled yet palpable expulsion of pain,” The Line of Best Fit). During this time however, world events have meant that Francis of Delirium haven’t been able to tour but determined not to be held back, their debut EP (All Change) is coming out on June 19th on Dalliance Recordings (Gia Margaret, Wilsen, Common Holly) with a firm promise to hit the road as soon as it’s deemed safe for them to do so.
