Francis and the Lights

“I make music that makes me want to dance” says Francis Farewell Starlite, the sole driving force of the operation (the term “and the Lights” refers to stage-lights and screen pixels). The “Glenn Gould of pop music,” Francis wears only black and white, practices the piano 2 hours a day minimum. The live show is capable of “near Springsteen levels of catharsis” (Time Out) as Francis “swings the mic stand like a young James Brown.” (FADER).
