François is a French guy from Bordeaux (where they make the wine) who moved to Bristol (where they make triphop). It was there that he hooked up with a couple of other musicians which he dubbed The Atlas Mountains (where you can find a lot of silver, copper and natural gas).
Together they have already made a couple of albums, the latest of which is called “Plaine Inondable”. François doesn’t mind starting one sentence in French and ending it in English. In between he helps himself with a sort of Franglais that I find endearing. Normally it would sound like shit but it somehow fits with the mix of bossa nova, dreamy pop and French chanson that he uses. Check out “Be Water (Je Suis De L’eau)” or “Pic-Nic” and get endeared with me. Yes, even punkrockers have a soft spot.
Score: 7 out of 10
