Riverside via Los Angeles indie rock kids Francisco the Man are not a man at all. Confusing? No, it’s a thread of misinformation these four fellows seem intent on disseminating.
You see, they’ve got an album coming out on October 27 co-released through Fat Possum and Small Plates, which they’ve called Loose Ends. A name that invokes a stoned Malkmus-esque rambling with half-finished solos and sloppy rhythms.
The truth is, Loose Ends is about as loose as Francisco the Man is a man. Instead, the group’s debut album is all bombastic stadium-bound drums and edgy-with-a-hint-of-drone guitar lines that nod to their instrumental origins.
Get a taster of the lead single “Progress” below or check out “Big Ideas” via Consequence of Sound and “It’s Not Your Fault” via Earmilk.
