Sweden’s Francobollo today are announcing their much-anticipated debut album Long Live Life, along with the release of their single – ‘Worried Times’. Charlie Andrew (Alt-J, Marika Hackman, Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Sivu etc.) is at the production helm for the band’s debut album Long Live Life – set for release Friday 14th July 2017 via Square Leg Records. They’re also announcing a full UK/European headline tour, kicking off in October – full details below.
New single ‘Worried Times’ bursts into life with a chugging guitar riff, before opening up into an assault of chaotic synth work and electronics, and irresistibly catchy vocal runs.
Speaking of the new single, the band’s charismatic frontman Simon Nilsson explained: “The song is about claustrophobia, and the fear of being locked down, tied to, held up or forced by something or someone, and about the fine art of committing.”
