Neil Frances

Neil Frances is the synth pop duo Jordan Feller on keyboards and Marc Gilfry on guitar and vocals. Their music is characterized by tight grooves and upbeat, breezy melodies that fit into the R&B based pop mold. They also mix it up with nu disco frequently. The songs are loaded with hooks, instrumental or melodic, and the top-notch production allows them to come across clearly. They play mostly in that comfortable mid tempo range with a seriously relaxed, laid back flow matched by Gilfry's low-key falsetto that is not in any hurry in any way. It is the kind of music that feels like a summer party that is slowly getting under way, being ramped up as people beginning to get engaged with the music: it is lively and dancey with a sway, but not pushy or demanding.
