Pressure and Persuasion

Northumbrian electro-folk musician and producer Frankie Archer releases her new EP Pressure and Persuasion, arriving amidst dates this autumn supporting The Last Dinner Party and a full UK headline tour of her own. Frankie Archer has exploded onto the electro-folk scene with music that transcends stereotypes using a combination of manipulated samples, synths, drum tracks and earthy Northumbrian fiddle and voice to capture her audience. Her aim? To shake up genres and traditions, challenge perspectives and call for a fairer future. 'Pressure and Persuasion' tells the stories of four women and girls from centuries past who navigate the same expectations that are put on women today. It encompasses joy, bravery, defiance and helplessness, and challenges ideas about how womens’ stories are told and perceived.
