Interview with Miles Francis
We had the pleasure of interviewing Miles Francis over Zoom video!
New York City singer, songwriter & multi-instrumentalist Miles Francis releases their transformative album Good Man, announcing a hometown New York show at Sultan Room on April 27. Sharing the final single & video for \u201cRainjacket\u201d this week, Miles\u2019 experiences during the project helped them come out as non-binary, resulting in works of gorgeous paradox: nuanced explorations of masculinity and all its trappings, presented in a sound that\u2019s joyfully unfettered.
Playing into the album\u2019s themes and storyline are previous singles \u201cPopular\u201d (feat. Lizzie Loveless & Lou Tides, formerly of TEEN), \u201cLet Me Cry,\u201d \u201cNature\u201d & \u201cService,\u201d complete with mesmerizing boy band clone choreography that mirrors Miles' own recording process in quarantine. \u201cEveryone indulges in having an ego and wanting to be recognized, but men seem particularly bent on the power element \u2014 whether it\u2019s taking up space in a room or leading a country,\u201d says Francis. These were followed by remixes of "Popular" by Future Generations and \u201cService\u201d from Overcoats, to love from KCRW, Earmilk, The Wild Honey Pie & beyond.
Produced by Francis and recorded in their longtime studio (located in the basement of the Greenwich Village building they grew up in), Good Man arrives as the most visionary and elaborately realized output yet from a polymathic artist known for collaborating with the likes of Ang\xe9lique Kidjo, Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, and Arcade Fire\u2019s Will Butler.
