Remember when I said the southern hemisphere was creating
some great music over the last year, well, I’m not going to say it’s the
weather, or possibly something in the water but there are some wonderful sounds
coming from down under.
Radar 3 piece Atlas Genius hail from Adelaide, they grew up
among a very musical family and were heavily influenced by The Beatles, but
fame wasn't to come first hand in their native country.
A track recorded in their very own self built recording
studio by the name of ‘Trojans’ was scooped up by US blog Neon Gold which
catapulted them into the spotlight. Since then they have charted in the US
Billboard chart and gone top 10 in the US Digital charts, as well as appearing on numerous American chat shows and becoming Zane Lowe’s next hype on Radio 1.
Radar track ‘Symptoms’ is Bastille, with a twang of Empire Of The Sun and just enough Foster The People to get by. It’s an acoustic
guitar layered with a persistent drum beat nicely partnered with some dulcet
tones. A melodic lo-fi pop hit that’s going to surf its way into the UK charts
within the year. And I ought to mention, they've just finished a tour with previous Radar band Imagine Dragons.
You can catch Atlas Genius debut at London’s Elektrowerks (Tickets : http://www.livenation.co.uk/
