Francois And The Atlas Mountains Announce New Album, Single and UK Tour
Thursday, 12 January 2017
Written by Jennifer Geddes
Frànçois and the Atlas Mountains have announced their fourth album, 'Solide Mirage', as well as a new single and UK tour.
Set to be released on March 3, via Domino Records, the album is the first new material to emerge from the band since 2014’s 'Piano Ombre'.
The video for the new single, Grand Dereglement, is a collaboration between the band's frontman, François Marry, and Palestinian Dabké dancer Mohamed Okal, who fled with his family from the conflicts in Gaza.
Marry said of the visual;
“The lyrics of the song are about the great changes in the world that move populations, and force the weaker to adapt to an intense and strenuous lifestyle. Filming Dabké dancing inside one the most emblematic buildings of the Capital of Europe (Palais de Justice) is a way of showing the positive side of civilisation shifts.”

Grand Dérèglemen

Apocalypse à Ipsos
1982
