Frànçois & The Atlas Mountains releases “Âge Fleuve” his highly anticipated album
Âge Fleuve, the latest offering by Frànçois & The Atlas Mountains is a warm and subtle album that 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.
The album was crafted over four long years, shaped by the pandemic, during which Frànçois reformed his band and transitioned between two labels, starting with Domino before turning to InFiné. Then the death of his father upended everything, reigniting the machine of memory, which he translates in his own way: “Since I lost my father during the pandemic, this question of origin has resurfaced, along with memories.” The concept of memories is palpable, each song crafted with complete honesty and introspection.
The album has received acclaim from platforms like CLASH, Les Inrocks, France Inter, FIP and many more.
