New England bound Sam Francis is back to his roots. The 8 songs featured on his new album titled “Pure Masonic Zeal!” range from a classical folk approach, instrumental keyboard pieces, electronic drums, the occasional off the cuff solo in the vein of Joe Satriani, and generally the energy of an improv player with a 1 take aesthetic. Issues surrounding stimulus packages, end of the world fanaticism, and stream of consciousness grabs in the dark – color this portrait with its own sense of quirky zeal. Artwork completed by the Annapolis Chosen. Limited to 50.
