Francois & The Atlas Mountains Announce New Album

E Volo Love is the new album from Domino’s first French signings, Fránçois & The Atlas Mountains, on 20th January 2012.

E Volo Love is comprised of eleven elegant, fragile, velvet-plush songs on an album that is heart-meltingly delicate, enchanting and otherworldly. Delicately poised between sunnily feel-good and wistfully melancholy, E Volo Love has a poignant, end-of-summer feel to it. The grand theme on this dual-language album – sung in both French and English – is simply love.

The album’s hot buttered sound comes from its wide range of influences, from French chanson, traditional indie pop and Aphex Twin to African and Middle Eastern sounds, which can be heard in particular on Les Plus Beaux and Do You Want To Dance, which bookend the album.

To be released as the first single on 11th November, Piscine yearns nostalgically for the past, and for lost afternoons at a small-town swimming-pool from Fránçois’ youth.
