Mellow Moon
 INDIE POP   QUIRKY   GUITAR 

"Alfie delivers on every flicker of potential we’ve seen since he first dropped onto the scene" – Dork

Young indie-pop darling Alfie Templeman shares his highly anticipated debut album, Mellow Moon. “This is my world and I welcome you to it”, he says about the project, “it’s a glimpse into my safe space, my haven, music.” The album follows a slew of rapturously received EPs that introduced the world to a prodigiously talented young songwriter, producer, and musician. In 2021 Alfie was all over everyone's artist-to-watch lists, including the BBC Sound Of 2021, MTV, Amazon Music, Vevo, and more. He recently surpassed 135 million cumulative streams and has over 2.2 million monthly listeners on Spotify, confirming his position as UK indie’s brightest light and most meteoric rising stars in recent memory.

“Superb… A unique blend of house, danceable pop, and a whole lot of fun” – NME

Get your grooooove on! Franc Moody return with  “I’m In A Funk",  a vibey, head bopping single awash in electronic soundscapes that brings together elements of house, disco, funk and electronica. "I’m In A Funk" is the second track from their forthcoming album due later this year. Their last album, 2020’s Dream In Colour, further proved their genius and command over the gospel of funk- it's a gooey, molasses-like funk album that is nothing short of mesmerizing. If you're new to the Franc train, then get ready to enter a world rooted in a thick, warm blanket of electrified retro disco with this new single!
