Equal parts heady and hedonistic, pensive and euphoric, Return To Zero—the third LP from Neal Francis—echoes both his deep-rooted psych-rock sensibilities and lifelong love of classic funk. Amid a relentless touring schedule that saw him play more than 400 shows between 2021 and 2024, the Chicago-based singer, songwriter, and pianist immersed himself in creating a beautiful, strange, all-analog fusion of timeless rock & roll and ’70s-era dance music, blending supremely heavy guitar riffs with lush, pulsating grooves.
Neal Francis’ sophomore album In Plain Sight offers a body of work that is both enchanting and painfully self-aware, recorded entirely on tape with his bandmates. Mixed by Grammy Award–winner Dave Fridmann (Spoon, Tame Impala, The Flaming Lips), the album spotlights Francis’ refined yet free-spirited piano work—an instrument he has played since the age of four. Created over the course of a tumultuous year spent living in a possibly haunted church in Chicago, the album unfolds as a portrait of profound upheaval and weary resilience. The result is a kaleidoscopic sound that is endlessly absorbing, ultimately revealing the possibility of redemption and transformation even as your world falls apart.
