Editorial Reviews In the early 90's Frances recorded as Aurora Paralysis. A personal project which grew into a band, Aurora Paralysis was part of the early 90's Richmond scene that also produced Eggs and Labradford (oddly, members of all three came together on Scaley Andrew's cover of "Girl From Ipanema" with Frances as Astrud Gilberto). Following a series of successful seven inches, the band received interest from Downy Mildew's label in California. Other commitments intervened, however, and Aurora Paralysis disbanded in 1993. Nonetheless, Frances continued making music: in the spring of '93 she collaborated on a series of recordings with Virginia guitarist/songwriter Rafael Lorenzo, three of which appear on Planet Grady. These songs will, no doubt, put many in the mind of Alastair Galbraith channeling Hubert Selby, Jr. And what of Planet Grady itself? Frances' bold excursion into the burgeoning field of Electronic Americana (completed December 2001) began simply as a fake vibraphone variation on a theme by Patsy Cline. Dobie Toms' mandolin and dobro accents haunt the piece like some ghost of Bill Monroe (specifically "My Last Days on Earth"). Spendid E-zine, in a glowing review, mistook Frances for a person from the Deep South: Listen and you'll know too!
