Aoife Nessa Frances is a singer-song writer and multi-instrumentalist from Ireland whose sophomore album ‘Protector’ was released via Partisan records on 28th October 2022.

In spring of 2020, Frances moved out of the city for the first time in her life. After packing up her things in Dublin, she moved to rural County Clare on the west coast of Ireland, and there, amidst the stillness, she worked on the songs that would become her second album, Protector. The resulting body of work deftly juxtaposes golden hours and arguments, affection and alienation, and above all marks a crucial period of her life that was transformative and left her wiser.
