Eat Your Own Ears presents Frànçois & The Atlas Mountains at MOTH Club.
Fluid: that’s how one could describe the musical odyssey of Frànçois & the Atlas Mountains (F&AM). Just take a look at his life journey. Growing up in Saintes in France on the banks of the Charente, Frànçois crossed the English Channel to settle in the UK in 2003, in the port city of Bristol. Initially a French teaching assistant, he gradually drifted into the independent music scene, which became an artistic and emotional laboratory for the young man.
Drawing, animation, music... Every medium has been explored by this multi-talented artist with a powerful creative energy. “You’d show up in places, grab a guitar, some makeshift instrument, something you picked up at a flea market, and you’d create a kind of arte povera of pop,” the musician recalls about his Bristol years. There, he brushed shoulders with major figures of the freak folk scene, like Movietone and Panda Bear, who inspired his DIY approach. For four years, he produced his own records before being noticed by the labels Talitres and Fence in 2008.
Âge Fleuve is the latest release from InFiné and the sixth studio album from F&AM, this warm and subtle record stands shoulder to shoulder with his previous works. It flows effortlessly, shining both through the richness of its style and the fluidity of the arrangements by producer Siau.
Âge Fleuve—or rather, a “liquid inspiration”— is built on a heritage of memory. And when one delves into the mystery of this heritage, the answer becomes clear: “We’re here, under this part of the river, further downstream. Everything communicates, everything is in motion.” In other words, an album flowing through the river of our sensory, intimate, and universal heritage.
