On their meditative new EP,
Wading, Francis of Delirium confronts grief, acceptance, isolation, identity, change, failure, and self actualizationâall within the confines of four short songs. Frontwoman Jana Bahrich and drummer Chris Hewett cast an equally wide net last June on their first EP,
All Change, but it felt more like a pilot run. Not everything landed, but they generated sparks of brilliance that catch fire on their more ambitious and cohesive follow-up.
Growing up the child of parents that taught overseas, the now-19-year-old Bahrich shuffled around as she grew up, living in Canada, Belgium, and Switzerland before anchoring in the verdant and frankly magical-looking country of Luxembourg. Its capital, Luxembourg City, is supposedly one of the top 20 âhighest quality of lifeâ places to live, so itâs comforting to know that even in a place so idyllic, the human condition remains the same.
