Likewise (Frances Quinlan album)
Frances Quinlan album
Likewise is the debut studio album by Frances Quinlan of Hop Along. It was released on January 31, 2020, by Saddle Creek Records.
Style and lyrics
The album makes use of strings, keyboards, piano, slide guitar and unorthodox percussion instruments.
Lyrically, Quinlan's lyrics on Likewise are much more personal in nature as opposed to the narrative style of their work on Hop Along albums. They elaborated, "I’ve tried to be an omniscient narrator, but I suppose I am in that chapter of life where it doesn’t feel truthful for me at the moment".
Background and production
Likewise is Frances Quinlan's first solo album under their own name. Quinlan had earlier released a solo album, Freshman Year, as Hop Along, Queen Ansleis, in 2005. Quinlan felt that the recording experience opened their instrumentation palette beyond the guitar and made them a more adventurous collaborator. New instruments in their repertoire include strings, autoharp, and synthesizers. Likewise was recorded with Joe Reinhart, a bandmate from Hop Along.
