Neal Francis - "In Plain Sight" Neal Francis' sophomore album offers up a body of work both enchanting and painfully self-aware. Recorded entirely on tape and mixed by GRAMMY-winner Dave Fridmann (Spoon, Tame Impala,) the record spotlights his refined yet free-spirited piano playing, an instrument he took up at age 4. The songs came to life over the course of a tumultuous year spent living in a (possibly) haunted church in Chicago. The result: a portrait of profound upheaval and weary resilience. Indie Electric Teal LP.
