Frànçois & The Atlas Mountains

Frànçois & The Atlas Mountains are a Franco-British indie pop collective led by French musician Frànçois Marry, known for their dreamy blend of multilingual lyricism and cross-cultural rhythms. Formed in the mid-2000s, the band merges Marry’s Bordeaux roots with Bristol’s DIY scene, creating sun-kissed melodies that hop between French and English verses. Their sound—a collage of Afrobeat grooves, jangly guitars, and synth textures—feels both globally curious and intimately personal, like postcards from a wanderer’s journal.

Recent releases like *Âge Fleuve* and *Banane Bleue* showcase their knack for breezy, introspective pop, while playful collaborations (see Yelle’s fizzy rework of *Coucou*) highlight their experimental streak. With albums like *Plaine Inondable* earning critical nods and live shows radiating warm, communal energy, they’ve carved a niche as indie’s favorite transcontinental daydreamers. Still evolving, still touring, still making geography sound like a love language.
