Franklin - Every Now and Then

“Some sweet and soft psych-pop, Franklin is stirring a nice combination of the vintage and modern.” (Dublab) “A great soft and minimalist piece with relaxing and surreal vocals.” (Julian Lennon Radioshow). FRANKLIN is the new side project of Frank Rabeyrolles, who's also the guy behind DOUBLE U, a french minimal pop/electronica project. After 4 albums for various labels (Sonar Kollektiv, Karat, Nocturne), Frank decided to make a break and create a new identity... So here comes FRANKLIN! What you'll hear following is pure love for psychedelism, sixties weird sounds, oldschool electro music.... FRANKLIN is kind of mutant pop, a very special combination of vintage future analog synths and drum machines, some echo guitars without fake nostalgia, sweet vocals mixed with a modern hybrid pop and surreal approach.... A project not so far from artist like BROADCAST, BEACH HOUSE, THE NOTWIST. After a successful limited single, Wool Recordings proudly presents the debut album of Franklin: the 13 songs explore new directions in the construction of modern pop music, 90's indie rock influences crossing bleeps and 60's West coast.. In a fewer words, psychedelism is taking Franklin to a next step…Debut album by Franklin who may have reached your ears with his Double U project on Sonar Kollektiv, Karat & Nocturne. “Far from being all about the Benjamins, this new Franklin is actually a side project by Frank Rabeyrolles aka Double U. His "Lost House" used to be a beautiful Beach House retreat kind of thing, and now that it's lost, it's packed with psychedelic ghosts from a time full of vintage echoes and sweet melodies you'll discover in the dirty corners of forgotten rooms, and I'm sure you'll find the keys under the door mat. Step right in. 9/10” (Lodown)
