Northumbrian electro-folk musician and producer Frankie Archer has announced her new EP 'Pressure and Persuasion' and released new single "Barbara Allen" along with an entrancing accompanying video. New EP 'Pressure and Persuasion' will be released 4th October, arriving amidst dates this autumn supporting The Last Dinner Party (following a personal invitation from the band) - and a full UK headline tour of her own running through October and November.

Frankie Archer's new EP '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.

New single and EP opener "Barbara Allen" is one of the most re-told songs in the English language. Frankie's spiralling interpretation - co-produced by Jim Moray - transcends expectations. "It's about a mean, cruel-hearted woman (irony there)," Frankie explains, continuing: "It’s 350+ years old but is dripping with the same expectation that’s laid onto women today."

Melding otherworldly electronic production that snaps and darts between the age-old prose, Frankie utilises harshly chopped and distorted fiddle, pitch-shifted vocals, swinging drum samples and a rich assemblage of analogue and digital synths, with her distinctive approach to folk storytelling opening up a new way of understanding the fabled tale.
