Francis of Delirium

Francis of Delirium plays Exchange in Bristol on 28 September 2026. The Luxembourg-based Canadian-American duo channels a clear-cut indie rock current shaped by songwriter and vocalist Jana Bahrich with producer Chris Hewett: taut guitars, a pull-and-release sense of melody, and space for dreamier passages that let the words breathe. After two EPs, Wading (2021) and The Funhouse (2022), the project widened its frame with Lighthouse in 2024, featuring Real Love, First Touch, Blue Tuesday and Give It Back to Me, with two tracks produced by Catherine Marks.

On stage, these songs tighten and bristle, switching between urgency and quiet, carried by a voice that stays close and direct. The duo has honed its live game across European venues and festivals, sharing bills with The 1975, Soccer Mommy, Horsegirl and Kings of Leon. In Bristol, the set leans on Lighthouse while dipping into the earlier EPs, stitching together hooky refrains, heavier swells and hushed corners for a show that keeps the focus on songcraft and momentum.
