ABOUT THIS ARTIST
Born in Oklahoma, raised in Paris, living in New York City, assistant to a Nobel Prize Winner, licensed New York City tour guide and Murder Mystery business owner, JW Francis is the newest signing to Sunday Best Recordings. His brand of lo-fi, utterly irresistible bedroom dream-pop takes its lead from the city JW lives in, with echoes of Jonathan Richman, The Velvet Underground and the lo-fi sound New York has been inspiring for decades.
His debut album ‘We Share a Similar Joy’ was met with critical acclaim, with features from DIY Magazine to Line of Best Fit and was named as ‘Album of the Day’ on BBC 6 Music. Lead single ‘New York’ also landed itself on the BBC 6 Music A-List for a month as well as the ‘Liked and Shared Record of The Year’. JW’s lo-fi, intimate sound provides a genuine comfort in these uncertain times and firmly secures Francis’s credibility as a future stalwart of the genre.
