Earlier this year, French musician Frànçois Marry presented his second album “E Volo Love”. While the debut was released on small Indie label Talitres, his sophomore record found a new, much more prestigious home: British label Domino. And suddenly, Marry gets all the attention he deserves and that was long overdue. Together with his band The Atlas Mountains he creates wonderful songs from light-footed Folk to hard-headed Indie á la The Pastels with dreamy, Dadaistic influences. Not to forget the happily energetic, almost African percussion. This eclectic mix is perfect for the bi-lingual music of Frànçois & The Atlas Mountains, who sing in English and French. But despite all these different musical styles all songs have one thing in common: Marry’s inspiring relaxed attitude! If you haven’t heard of this wonderful band before, you should start by listening to the last two singles: “City Kiss” and “Les Plus Beaux”. They will give you a good idea of what they sound like.

Sounds like:
Conor Oberst, The Pastels, Django Django
