Neal Francis has shared “Alameda Apartments” The track is the opening song on In Plain Sight, mixed by Dave Fridmann (The Flaming Lips, Tame Impala, MGMT) and out via ATO Records on November 5. “The song is introduction to the album’s unveiling of Francis’s inner demons.”

“I started writing that song maybe six years ago, before I got sober,” Francis says. “I was going through another breakup and getting kicked out of my place, and I had a nightmare about moving into an art-deco apartment that was haunted, where the walls were all shifting around.

The craziest thing is that I’d never encountered the name ‘Alameda’ at any time in my life prior to that dream,” says Francis. “It’s bizarre that I even remembered it, especially since you don’t dream very often when you’re getting fucked up.”
