We are pleased to announce the first single release from Domino’s latest signing, Fránçois & The Atlas Mountains. The first ever French Domino signings are ready to spread their wings over indie pop’s vast international landscape. With vivid looks and a slender body, Fránçois builds up castles in Saintonge, France, with Moroccan mountains, British phlegm and sturdy friendships. After seven years of passionate gigs and road trips across Europe which has seen them tour with Electrelane, Camera Obscura and most recently with Mercury-nominated King Creosote & Jon Hopkins, Fránçois & The Atlas Mountains convey a magnetic presence on stage. A deep sense of lightness and sincerity sets in as voices, keyboards and African percussion blend into instant pop. Piscine will be available digitally (RUG431D) and on 7″ (RUG431) from 31st October, backed with the track, Ruins. Domino Recording Company is an independent record label founded in 1993.

More typecast of British people. I am, however, grateful you used quasi as your prefix. (By the way, it’s xeno; not xene.)

If necessary, get those text books out and learn. It will be a much more fulfilling way to learn the French language than anything they tried to teach you in the class room. Bon courage to Francois and his band in their quest to conquer the quasi-xenephobic British attitude to lyrics in anything other than English.

Now I wish I didn’t sell those French textbooks. Maybe Rossetta Stone will help. I like their sound. Trés beaucoup.

Lovely stuff. Another signing pilfered from the Fence folk? Keep it up, they need widespread recognition. Domino does wonderful things.
