Shadowhand

Frances8 presents Shadowhand, in which singer-songwriter Nicole Laby uproots toxicity and embraces healing through the enigmatic gifts of music. The pulsing heartbeat from the upright bass, the soaring storytelling from the violin, the blended layers of warmth and dissonance from the lead guitar, and unrestrained, soulful vocals form a map of sorts: a tale of emotional resilience that takes the listener on a journey from one song to the next. The blend of folk, ambient, and indie influences give way to a unique, Americana-Noir genre for this body of work. Skillfully mixed and mastered by guitarist Mark Fassett, Shadowhand awaits your hearts, ears and personal interpretations.
