about

As a child I dreamed of building a small house on top of a mountain.
I had the plans in my mind. The layout of the furniture in a blue sketchbook.
I used to fantasize about a shelter where I could stay during the stormy days.
One afternoon while I was tracing the façade of my future home with a branch in the ground,
I was an accidental victim of ornithochory, as a small bird dropped a seed on me.
I didn't realise it at the time, but as the days went by,
And with the humidity brought by the words of the adults, that seed turned into a sprout.
From then on there was no room in me for the vision of a mountaintop shelter.
So, I began to devise a house somewhere on the hillside,
But as the sprout constituted itself into hard branches,
There was no room but to imagine a domicile at the foot of a hill,
But the heat of logic was so intense that the tree reached maturity in record time.
Woe was me when the fruit began to fall to the ground, a fly-ridden plot.
An orchard torn apart by red mites disguised as comfort.

Fran Sonur

Francisco Sonur brings a careful blend of ambient, cinematic and post-rock sounds with the release of 'Kind of Happiness'. The album, as with all of the work Fran has put out to date, tells personal stories from the artist's past to the present day. Fran's sonic storytelling often focuses on the small details of family life, bringing feelings of honestly, innocence, playfulness and nurture directly to the listener. The is an undeniable sense of optimism and hope that is carried throughout Fran's music; 'Kind of Happiness' continues the ongoing story with a brand new chapter.
