About – Press

Born out of a bedroom, the project Francis of Delirium was created by solo artist Jana Bahrich (Vancouver, CA) who later invited drummer/producer, Chris Hewett (Seattle, USA) to form an indie rock band, based in Luxembourg. Uniquely synthesizing grunge and folk to create an evocative and vulnerable experience, Francis of Delirium gently guides the listener to look inward; allowing for a space that encourages growth. Francis of Delirium delivers a powerful indie rock sound that supports Jana’s high energy vocals and her genuine passion to connect with each member of the audience. With support from the likes of the BBC, KEXP, Pitchfork, Line Of Best Fit and NPR, Francis of Delirium released their second EP ‘Wading’ in April 2021 on UK-label, Dalliance Records. « Prep yourselves for some genuine and energetic grunge rock made in Luxembourg. » (RTL)

« Feels like the blueprint for something grand. » – Pitchfork, 7.4 EP Review

« There’s a bit of Pixies and Snail Mail and the Beths in there, and maybe some Lomelda and Lucy Dacus and Built To Spill. You know, that really f*cking good shit. » – Stereogum

“If (upcoming EP Wading) sounds anything like their newest single ‘Let It All Go’, we’re in for something very good.” The Fader

“Unfurls with an energy on the brink of self-detonation… a steamy, cathartic breakup song drawing on classic indie rock and emo. »Paste

About – Press

Psych-pop quartet TUYS’ songs are pervaded by distorted bass lines, entangling hooks and eccentric dynamics that make you want to see them live. They have toured throughout Europe, playing festivals including MS Dockville, Reeperbahn, The Great Escape and have supported The 1975, Everything Everything, The Kooks, and Thirty Seconds To Mars, but remain hungry for more as they get set to embark on a GSA-wide tour in support of their latest EP, A Curtain Call For Dreamers, and forthcoming single « Muddy Beach », due out September 10.

« An exuberant mix of arty sophistication and pop hooks. » — Europavox

« Toutes ces années leur ont donné une originalité et une densité qui méritent d’etre entendues de par le monde. — Le Soir’s « Sorties de la Semaines » (Thierry Coljon)

« Without a doubt Tuys are one of the most exciting bands to emerge from the Luxembourgish music scene. » — Luxemburger Wort

About – Press

Georges Goerens aka Bartleby Delicate navigates the currents of contemporary folk and loop-based electronics with impressive ease – and a sound playing in a field of its own. On his debut EP, « Deadly Sadly Whatever », released Friday, May 14 on the Berlin-based indie label Listenrecords, Bartleby merges the polyphonic expanse of his voice with subtle arpeggios, melancholic piano chords, and field recordings. The music plays in a field of its own, earning him accolades from Tom Rosenthal and live performances all across Europe (SPOT, Reeperbahn Festival, WAVES Vienna, The Great Escape) in the process.

“Bartleby Delicate is the epitome of a soulful one-man folk-band, creating sounds that we are only used to hear from José Gonzáles or Bon Iver.” — DIFFUS

“Truly hypnotic and a sight to behold.” — EVERYTHING IS NOISE

« … Bartleby can make healing music by calming your mind and senses. » — Europavox
