Frànçois & the Atlas Mountains are a French-British pop group combining indie pop and folk pop.

History

The band is led by French musician François Marry, who has also been a touring member of Camera Obscura. Other members also play in Petit Fantôme, Jaune!, Archipel and Babe.[1] After growing up in Saintes, and studying at La Rochelle, Marry relocated to Bristol in 2003. He lived in the city for six years.[2][3]

The band's first album was the mostly live The People to Forget, released in 2006 on Bristol's micro label Stitch-Stitch.

The band's second album, Plaine Inondable, was released in 2009 on Fence Records in the UK and on Talitres in France to critical acclaim, receiving a four star review from The Scotsman.[4]

The band's third album, E Volo Love, was released in 2012 on Domino recordings, and was also positively received, with The Skinny writer Chris Buckle giving it four stars out of five and describing it as "unabashedly romantic...a study in understatement delivered with finesse", and Simon Price in The Independent describing it as "gentle indie-pop jangle with echoes of Afropop".[5][6] The album received a 7/10 rating from the NME.[7]

Marry has also released several lo-fi tapes and records.

Musical style

Frànçois & the Atlas Mountains: "Il faut sortir de sa bulle"", L'Express, 22 March 2017</ref>[8][9][10] Marry's vocals have been described as "appealingly weedy", with a comparison made to Peter Perrett.[6]

Some historical Chinese characters for non-Han peoples were graphically pejorative ethnic slurs, where the racial insult derived not from the Chinese word but from the character used to write it. For instance, written Chinese first transcribed the name Yáo the Yao people (in southwest China and Vietnam) with the character for yáo 猺 jackal. Most of those terms were replaced in the early 20th-century language reforms; for example, the character for the term yáo was changed, replaced this grap…
