Sage Francis – Slow Man

Written by Justin Elgie. Published: Monday, March 29, 2010.

Sage Francis just dropped the track “Slow Man” which is the first single off his upcoming album titled Li(f)e. Check out the production credits below.

The song is a unique collaboration originating from a musical composition by Arizona based Tex-Mex, alt-country rockers Calexico. The music was subsequently arranged by lyricist Francis and recorded in studio by Jim Becker and Tim Rutili of experimental folk ensemble Califone under the guidance of producer Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Iron & Wine, Gomez).

Also, after numerous requests, Sage Francis has provided the lyrics to “Slow Man”. You can find the lyrics via his website here.
