Today’s New Noise: dear francis

dear francis

Happy Friday, rockers! Dear francis is the solo project of Jennifer Calvin, vocalist and guitarist for such notable punk acts as Mika Miko and Bleached. The project recently released a music video for the new single “godheads,” and it’s currently streaming on YouTube.

While Calvin’s other projects were heavily punk, dear francis gets a little more introspective with much of “godheads” focused on a slow, simmering build-up that’s punctuated by moments of punk intensity. Delving deep into the dark depths of addiction, the vulnerable and emotional song provides a sympathetic and heartfelt take on the topic. The video, directed by Jennifer’s sister Jessie Calvin, combines original footage with old, found VHS footage from the sisters’ footage with their now-deceased friend Chris, to whom the song is dedicated. Check out the video below.
