Info for Atlantis

Anne Paceo invites us on an extraordinary sonic and emotional journey with Atlantis: Inspired by the mythical sunken island, the ocean as a place of longing, and the desire for inner peace, the French drummer, composer, and singer blends acoustic sensitivity with electronic expansiveness.

After a formative diving experience in Portugal, Paceo began to rethink sound and consciousness — the result is her most personal work to date: thirteen tracks rooted in jazz, yet open to pop, electronic textures, and poetic songwriting. At her side are long-time companions such as Christophe Panzani (saxophone), Zacharie Ksyk (trumpet), and Gauthier Toux (keyboards), as well as guests like Laura Cahen, Piers Faccini, and Cynthia Abraham. Atlantis merges musical and literary influences — from Bon Iver, Björk, and Joni Mitchell to Alessandro Baricco and David Lynch — creating an atmospheric sound universe between reality and dream, intimacy and social resonance. A three-time winner of the Victoires du Jazz and recipient of the Chevalier of the Order of Arts and Letters, Anne Paceo presents herself here as a visionary artist with a strong voice. Atlantis is a place to dive into, to let go, and to remember — one of the most striking releases of the year.
