Brighton-based newcomer frances mistry is a refreshingly original, autistic alternative-Indie artist, whose songs’ autobiographical stories are carried along by her haunting melodies and strident guitar riffs that has lauded by the likes of BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders as a “proper, authentic artist.” and long-listed in Glastonbury’s 2022 prestigious Emerging Talent competition. The Loud LDN collective member will be a new name to many, but is making music that’s unforgettably punchy yet delicate at the same time. She cites influences such as beabadoobee, Clairo and Jay Som, but sometimes the songwriter’s melodies nod to the work of The Sundays. Mistry doesn’t doubt that her influences are enormously diverse and include everything from the band America, to The Cure to a raft of more current artists. With a 2nd EP to be released in the summer, frances has already opened the for likes of Paris Paloma and gecko and will be opening for WILDES’ EP release show in March.
