Whatever your sordid lifestyle you need a class injection from time to time: these two gigs offer a quiet level of\u00a0 sophistication that you probably don&#8217;t deserve. Two Bristol collectives head up things: Domino Records&#8217; latest signing FRANCOIS AND THE ATLAS MOUNTAINS offer beguiling tales that take in Francophilic (natch) indie swank, delicate folk nosing and gently brass-swirled soundscapes. Amongst a million faux romantics, they are the real deal. Their mates THIS IS THE KIT are pretty sweet too, much quieter in their delicate folk stylings but containing a load of quality at their hushed heart. As always, talk through these songs and I will crossbow you in the face (last week&#8217;s Dan Higgs gig at Ten Feet Tall was probably the noisiest Lesson No.1 gig of all time, and not for the right reasons). Um, positivity! Whether you go for the dudes of Cafe Kino or the splendid people of Loose and Zoo Pop, this will be swoonworthy stuff.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-10663\" href=\"http:\/\/jonnyjaniero.wpengine.com\/thejoycollective\/preview\/francois-and-the-atlas-mountains\/attachment\/francois-atlas-mountains-ruins\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10663\" title=\"Francois (and friends)\" src=\"http:\/\/jonnyjaniero.wpengine.com\/thejoycollectivewp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/francois-atlas-mountains-ruins.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"512\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jonnyjaniero.com\/thejoycollective\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/francois-atlas-mountains-ruins.jpg 512w, https:\/\/jonnyjaniero.com\/thejoycollective\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/francois-atlas-mountains-ruins-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jonnyjaniero.com\/thejoycollective\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/francois-atlas-mountains-ruins-225x128.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>=====================<\/p>\n<p>7:30pm doors<br \/>\n\u00a36 on the door<br \/>\nadvance tickets \u00a36 from the here shop<\/p>\n<p>FRANCOIS AND THE ATLAS MOUTAINS<br \/>\nJust  days ago announced their signing to DOMINO RECORDS , FATAM very    excitedly returning to Bristol where it all started out.
