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 "Rainjacket" this week, Miles' 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's joyfully unfettered. Playing into the album's themes and storyline are previous singles "Popular" (feat. Lizzie Loveless & Lou Tides, formerly of TEEN), "Let Me Cry," "Nature" & "Service," complete with mesmerizing boy band clone choreography that mirrors Miles' own recording process in quarantine. "Everyone indulges in having an ego and wanting to be recognized, but men seem particularly bent on the power element — whether it's taking up space in a room or leading a country," says Francis. These were followed by remixes of "Popular" by Future Generations and "Service" 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 Angélique Kidjo, Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings, and Arcade Fire's Will Butler.
