The Atlas Mountains

The Atlas Mountains are a French-Moroccan band fronted by the singer-songwriter Jesse Hackett. Their sound blends elements of French pop, North African rhythms, and indie rock, creating a sunny, often wistful atmosphere. Hackett, who grew up between France and Morocco, draws inspiration from both cultures, often incorporating Arabic lyrics and instrumentation into the band's music. They've gained a dedicated following for their breezy melodies and introspective lyrics, which often explore themes of travel, identity, and displacement.

Over the years, The Atlas Mountains have released several acclaimed albums, including "Piano Ombre," "My Life Is Like a Sunset," and "Banane Bleue." Known for their energetic live performances, they've toured extensively throughout Europe and beyond. While their music retains a distinctly French feel, the band's cross-cultural influences give it a unique and captivating edge.
