Easy listening for anxious times, torch songs for a world on fire, orchestral pop for the algorithm age: this is the twilit milieu of L.C. Franke.
Brash rocker turned sentimental crooner, Franke makes his NYC headline debut at Pangea with his moody jazz and orchestral pop. Backed by a sextet of strings and piano-led rhythm section, Franke swings between ballads and upbeat bops. Informed by lyrical troubadours like Leonard Cohen, Randy Newman and Rufus Wainwright while touchstoning the sonics of Sinatra’s “Wee Small Hours”, the hazy romanticism of Norah Jones and the modern irony of Father John Misty.
