Frances Forever: “Troll”

You’ve got to pay the troll toll. Frances Forever gets into that boy’s soul on our highlighted track “Troll,” off the full-length Lockjaw. Immaculate pop escapades. Hints of anthems. Hints of statement-making. Full of joy. Feels like the Boston-based artist has leveled up with this latest release, which is a grower, with tracks full of textural Easter eggs that lay in wait until they slowly emerge on relisten. Or maybe it’s just normal great pop/rock brought into high relief with great production? Who’s the producer on this album? Via Mom and Pop Records.
