Francisca Griffin releases 'Stardust'

‘Stardust’ is testament to Griffin's strength as a songwriter; familiar jangly, expansive Dunedin Sound(ing) guitar lines which meet her adroit lyricism.

Paper Cranes’ second album Voices is out today, and while it draws on their past sound, this new artistic whole is lighter and more hopeful than their last offering The Road Home. Voices delves into themes of togetherness and relationships, the echoes that pull us together and send us apart. In its darkness and lightness, the album is about doubt and freedom, the changing seasons, the decisions that lead us, the lies we’re told and the search for truth. Paper Cranes embark on a New Zealand tour to support the album. Tickets are available from Undertheradar (and Just The Ticket for Wellington). Auckland band Fables will play support (except Festival One and the South Island dates). Voices is now available from iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify and all good digital outlets. CDs are available from the Paper Cranes’ Bandcamp site.

Francisca Griffn (fka Kathy Bull, also of Cyclops) from legendary Flying Nun outfit Look Blue Go Purple, announces her new album the spaces between out January 25th on CocoMuse Releases with South Island shows forthcoming. Following the release of single ‘Falling Light’, Griffin shares her latest offering, ‘Stardust’, the second single from the spaces between.

Griffin is joined live for her South Island shows by bassist Mick Elborado and drummer Gabriel Griffin as The Bus Shelter Boys and they will play the spaces between in its entirety, as well as some old gems at The Cook in Dunedin. Touring with The Bus Shelter Boys January 25th // Dunedin – The Cook February 1st // Port Chalmers – The Galley (solo show) February 21st // Blenheim – The Plant February 23rd // Christchurch – Space Academy Head to Bandcamp to listen to stardust. #songbroker #musicpublishing #franciscagriffin #stardust #newsingle #thespacesbetween #lookbluegopurple #cyclops #thebusshelterboys #dunedin
