Another fine lilting song from Frànçois & The Atlas Mountains‘ superb debut album E Volo Love. ‘Edge of Town’ is so uplifting it pitches the video’s Lost-esque smoke monster into a benevolent blue one. They play the Academy 2 in Dublin on October 30th and Ulster Bank Belfast Festival at Queen’s the night before as part of the UK and Ireland tour. I suggest you go see Frànçois’ hips move in person.
