The epitome of a modern artist, Jana Bahrich does most things herself, no matter how painstakingwriting, producing, directing, often hand painting t-shirts the day of shows when the band have run out of merch. This has helped give her band Francis of Delirium a unique identity, with her rock confessionals breathing a new life in to the genre and her paintings creating a striking design aesthetic.

Released as she was finishing high school, 2020s single ‘Quit Fucking Around was a great introduction and it remains one of her most enduring songs. Shortly after its release, she signed to artist-first indie Dalliance Recordings (Gia Margaret, HighSchool, lilo) and three EPsAll Change (2020), Wading (2021), The Funhouse (2022) and a striking debut album – Lighthouse (2024)on and Jana has Francis of Delirium flying.

While the EPs fizzed with promise, her debut album Lighthouse landed its punches. Seeking a more vulnerable and open sonic palette, she wove in pop elements to create anthems that celebrated heartbreak and love. Lead singles Real Love and First Touch were the first tracks she made with an outsider – working with GRAMMY winning producer Catherine Marks (boygenius, The Killers, Wolf Alice)while the rest of the album was produced by Jana herself and day one collaborator Chris Hewett. The critics were impressed tooBahrichs choruses, almost every one, are lumpin-your-throat gorgeous. NME; Jana Bahrich seems too young for this tremendous debuts ambitious anthems. Uncut; A rewarding experience that captures a talented, young artist at the crossroads between adolescence and adulthood.” Paste.

Live, Francis of Delirium are Jana (guitar and vocals), Jeff Hennico (bass) and Denis Schumacher (drums). Together, their brilliant quiet-loud dynamic and tight interplay only elevate her songs and over the last 5 years, theyve toured across Europe and North America, playing headline shows, festivals and tours with the likes of Blondshell, Briston Maroney, The Districts, Horsegirl and Soccer Mommy. Theyve also supported The 1975, Alanis Morissette, DIIV and Wolf Alice.

Last summer saw a memorable UK tour with Ba, the 90s band resurrected by a huge TikTok moment for their track Duvet. There was a real sense of excitement for these shows with young crowds snaking outside every venue hours before doors and bringing the sort of energy Jana thrives on, she road tested new material to an overwhelmingly positive response, giving her the impetus to go and finish album two.

An artist who seeks to connect with her listener on a deeper level, its no surprise then that shes made hope and inner strength central themes on her new album, Run, Run Pure Beauty. Jana says the title track is an imagining of the world after it has been destroyed by humans and technology. Thrashing against what humans have left behind, ultimately the pure beauty of nature wins out. Wanting to bring different perspectives into her songwriting with this record – informed by both her travels and the tumultuous times we find ourselves in – shes also brought about a progression in her sound with these new songs somehow sounding larger, with undeniable harmonies and more orchestration.

Featuring the singles Little Black Dress and Its a Beautiful Life, Run, Run Pure Beauty serves as an excavation of hope in bleak times. Produced by Jana and Chris, and mixed by Nicolas Vernhes (Deerhunter, Dirty Projectors, Silver Jews, Wild Nothing), its eleven songs of discovery, despair and perseverance ultimately serve as a mirror on its creator and is a brilliant next installment in the Francis of Delirium arc.
