Alice Francis is coming back to Prague with new album! Get ready for looooong night full of electro swing!
Alice Francis are back with their new Album »Electric Shock«. During her almost three-year world tour with concerts in Canada, Russia, Israel and many European countries, the trio performed alongside Alicia Keys, Erykah Badu and Public Enemy, just to name a few. Besides numerous live shows, singer Miss Francis, producer Goldielocks and one-man-choir Chul-Min Yoo worked on their new album, which got inished in New York’s legendary Sterling Sound Master studio.
One thing is equally unmistakable: with their second album, the three push the boundaries as far as the stamp electro-swing sound will allow (Going even further than Debut LP “St. James Ballroom”). And in this way they come closer to their almost unattainable ideal of their “own sound”. On Electric Shock the mixture of mechanical and contemporary digital sound sources succeed better than ever before.
During their travels the global music diplomats brought lots of exotic and unusual instruments; This has resulted in changing the range of musical influences. You find traces and elements of Blues, swing, pop, house, raga and yes, even classical music.
The fact that their passion for the culture of the 1920 & 30s on “Electric Shock” shines through, is nevertheless, no accident. However, Alice Francis have absolutely no interest in a resurgence of bygone times. They care only for the fact that what still swings today simply does not fall into oblivion. Nevertheless, thanks to Alice Francis time travelling is no longer of the impossible anymore….
