François Marry alongside his band The Atlas Mountains are Domino Record’s first signing to their French office in Paris. Raised in south-west France, Fránçois released his first album ‘Pleine Inondable’ in 2009 on King Creosote’s Fence Records and then settled down and made music in cities such as Bristol, Bruxelles and Paris.
François has been busy since the 2017 release of ‘Solide Mirage’, Frànçois and the Atlas Mountains’ fourth album. First, he headed to the 19th century and Baudelaire’s Les Fleurs du Mal (The Flowers of Evil), from which he set eight poems to music; then to Essaouira, Morocco, where he discovered the trancelike music of the Gnawa people; and finally back to Europe where he gathered images and melodies. “I love that dreamlike state of starting afresh with a blank canvas. That feeling where anything is possible, allowing you to let new and unexpected flavours into your open mind.”
His fifth album ‘Banane Bleue’ forthcoming on 26th February 2021 is an album about wandering and memories; a journey through space, love and time. A nomadic record, hailing from rented workspaces in Berlin, Athens and Paris and assisted on production by Finish composer Jaakko Eino Kalevi and on mixing duties by Renaud Letang (Feist, Gonzales, Connan Mockasin).
