Fran has shared a second track lifted from their debut album ‘A Private Picture,’ which is due out November 15th via\u00a0Fire Talk. So Surreal<\/em>\u00a0is an extremely catchy, guitar-driven song with lead guitarist and songwriter Maria Jacobson dissecting the intersection between our internal experiences, private imaginations, and external realities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jacobson on the track…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“So Surreal is about daydreaming. There’s a huge disconnect between the world we create in our minds and the external world. In our minds, we jump from scene to scene, we see ourselves as more than and less than we are. We are constantly imagining the possibilities of relationships, dreams, jobs, pursuits. You have to be a Buddhist monk to just walk down the street.

Our daydreams have real power and can transform our lives – but they also pull us out of the momentum of what’s happening. This song tries to capture that frenzy of being pulled in too many directions at once, even if it’s all in your head.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So Surreal<\/em> is accompanied by a new music video, directed by Tony Duvall, that draws from 90s\/00s pop music videos. Jacobson describes as wanting to “revisit the origin place of many of my childhood daydreams and aspirations: late 90’s\/early 2000’s pop videos. The gorgeous sets and costumes, the bright lights with roving cameras, the flawless dance moves. This is my jacked-up version of an N’Sync music video.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
