Francis of Delirium, the project of Luxembourg-based musician Jana Bahrich, returns with a new single, “Requiem for a Dying Day,” the latest glimpse into her upcoming second album, Run, Run Pure Beauty, due May 29 via Dalliance Recordings. Watch the self-directed stop-motion video for “Requiem for a Dying Day” here.
“Requiem for a Dying Day” emerges as a haunting centerpiece for Run, Run Pure Beauty—a slow, deliberate meditation on a world hurtling towards its own undoing. The track’s measured pace, alongside its tactile visual counterpart, stands in stark, compelling contrast to the urgency of its themes, while also showcasing some of the record’s most ambitious arrangements.
Paper Lady is the immortal crone, casting spells and wreaking havoc in Brooklyn, New York. This indie dream-rock outfit, consisting of Alli Raina, Rowan Martin, Alex Castile, and Taylor Morris, was formed in the depths of the Northeast DIY scene. Originally based in Boston, the quartet utilizes strong sonic dynamics and guitar pedals galore to create its unique sound. Their debut album, Idle Fate, released in 2025, is a portal into their world of noise, magic, and visceral emotion. The band continues to play shows around the US and is currently working on new music.
