Under the leadership of François Marry, François and the Atlas Mountains combine indie rock, Afrobeat and pop with a maverick flair. Having spent years in the UK writing and playing with a rotating cast of musicians, Marry eventually hit upon a winning formula: create an eclectic, futuristic sound with nods to dance music, electronic experimentalism and the UK's underground indie-pop scene. Marry's delicate and emotive voice, backed by chiming synths, strummed guitars, clipped electro rhythms and intricate live percussion, ensures that even his most melancholy songs feel upbeat and inspired.
