Atlas hail from the North West of England with a sound reflective of their habitat. The often angelic harmonies and melodies reflect the beauty of their Lake District surroundings, with the occasional hard hitting gritty spit that is characteristic of the industrial town they inhabit.
Formed in December 2007, Atlas have frequented many of the North West's festivals, including slots at Kendal Calling '08 and '09, Ravenstonedale and Cockermouth Festival. The successes of which have lead them to embarking on their 2009 tour.
The music is indicative of a group of musicians that strive to create something not only interesting, but emotionally hard hitting. The lyrics are that of a story, where allegory and real life experiences blend to create a beautiful imagery that can be related to or learnt from; yet, despite the intelligence behind these, it is apparent that the placing of the vocal harmony is prime.
The solid foundations of the rhythm section complement the entwining guitar work, which somehow remains accessible, through the subtle complexity of the arpeggios they adopt, and the ambitious vocal harmonies they incorporate. It is clear that, for Atlas, originality in their sound is paramount.
