SUNSHINE is the third album from New York’s next lo-fi legend JW Francis, and, in an appropriately maverick move, will be released just after its creator finished canoeing over 2,000 miles of the Mississippi River.

The follow-up to JW’s critically acclaimed sophomore album WANKERKID, SUNSHINE will be released on October 11 by Born Losers Records.

Shortly after the release, JW is now set to leave the river and tour the new album across the United States, Canada as well as Europe.

Wistful, upbeat and bursting with charisma, new single MISSISSIPPI is quintessential JW and sets the tone perfectly for an album that tells the story of a wandering anti-hero; as JW elaborates…

“SUNSHINE is my Appalachian trail album. It’s the collection of songs I wrote after walking 1500 miles in 123 days, and all that unraveled as a result. The biggest change in my life, after living outside for 4 months, is that I haven’t lived anywhere since. I’ve been nomadic for three years now and this album is the result of that.”
