Frances Chang Shares "Auratones of desire"

“Auratones of desire” is the next swirling vision from Frances Chang’s been thinking bout confession.

“Auratones of desire” is a study in contradictions, a “classic psychological story of projection.” Chang's intimate vocal melodies are guided by half Stravinsky, half noir strings, creeping trepidatiously along until the suspense crescendoes. As is often the case in psychological thrillers, the figure that “Auratones of desire” is about is really just another facet of the self.

The single arrives alongside a surreal video by Chang and filmmaker Annie Horner, featuring Chang exploring dreamlike settings across several scenes and existential situations.

Frances Chang’s been thinking about confession will be released on August 21, 2026.
