French Film – 10000000000 Reasons

Austin band French Film shares “10,000,000,000 Reasons” ahead of new LP

Drawing inspiration from Blonde Redhead, Sonic Youth, Autolux, and Unwound, French Film has been gaining traction in Austin’s underground shoegaze and post-hardcore scene since they formed in the winter of 2023.

The four-piece (Ash Keenum on vocals and guitar, Drake Moreno on guitar, Colby Falkner James on bass and Joshua Harpur on drums) released their first EP, Yours, in May of 2025 and have since shared stages with Drook, Courting, Unwed Sailor, We Are Scientists, and more. French Film are known for their visceral and sonically intense live shows and they were a standout band at SXSW this year!

In 2026 the band joined Los Angeles label Solid Brass Records and announced an upcoming compilation album, Yours + Five, featuring ten tracks chock full of atmospheric melodies combined with abrasive and jarring tension. Recorded with Kevin Butler (Die Spitz, Black Books) at Test Tube Audio, this release explores the juxtaposition of the horrors and hopes of modern society as well as matters of the heart.

Yours + Five will be released on 8/21/26 digitally and on Limited Edition Ruby Red and Opaque White vinyl.
