Francis of Delirium

In the organizer's words:

Following the release of the singles "Little Black Dress" and "It's a Beautiful Life", Francis of Delirium, the project of Luxembourg musician Jana Bahrich, announces her new album "Run, Run Pure Beauty", which will be released on May 29, 2026 via Dalliance Recordings.

After recording and self-producing three EPs inspired by alternative rock and the consequences of lockdown nihilism in "a basement next to the washing machine", Francis of Delirium released her debut album "Lighthouse" in 2024. With fans at Pitchfork, Stereogum, KEXP, Clash, Line of Best Fit and many others, Jana has taken on the role as the voice of Luxembourg's Gen-Z - putting the tiny country on the musical map and giving a huge boost to an even younger scene that is just starting to emerge.

The daughter of two Canadian expat teachers, Jana spent much of her youth traveling. Born in Antwerp and later moving to Switzerland, she arrived in the vibrant art center of Vancouver, Canada as a teenager before relocating to Luxembourg. Although initially crushed by the prospect of this change, Jana has become a passionate advocate for the small country, forging connections and relationships that have shaped her unique sound. Luxembourg may not exactly have a reputation as a creative epicenter, but with artists like Francis of Delirium, the small country seems poised to produce some great musical moments.

Her new track 'Little Black Dress' is a euphoric indie-pop song that is as catchy as it is cathartic. In the unmistakable style of Francis of Delirium, guitars and drums build up to sugar-sweet vocal melodies. A touch of Gen-Z melancholy reminds you why Jana's open-hearted, emotionally intelligent songwriting creates such a strong connection with her fans.
