Hannah Frances has announced her new Nested in Tangles, will drop on October 10th via Fire Talk. Ahead of the release, the multi-artist has shared lead single/video “Surviving You.”

Frances wrote Nested in Tangles throughout 2023 and 2024, almost immediately following the completion of her album, Keeper of the Shepherd. Frances collaborated with Kevin Copeland, Frances brought on Daniel Rossen of Grizzly Bear to produce and arrange a pair of tracks, and enlisted friends to contribute horn, wind, and string arrangements.

Lead single “Surviving You” is presented alongside a music video filmed by Derrick Alexander, edited and colored by Vanessa Castro, and directed by Frances herself. Shot in Frances’ former homebase of Chicago, the “Surviving You” video features longtime friend and collaborator Sarah Clausen, who also contributes saxophone and bass clarinet on the track. “‘Survivng You’ is a reflection on the ways generational trauma can repeat itself when unexamined, and the ways we learn to protect ourselves through necessity,” Frances says.

“It’s a personal account of receiving harm from people who have projected their own pain onto me, who refuse to see themselves or take accountability for the impact of their actions. I was reckoning with my rage, and recognizing how much I’ve lived in survival mode for the majority of my life. This is for anyone who grew up in a turbulent and harmful home and is learning to affirm their lived experience.”
