Atlas Genius ‘Trojans’

I kind of enjoy getting sent international press releases about Australian artists. I admit I had never heard of Adelaide-based fourpiece Atlas Genius before this track dropped into my inbox, but boy am I glad that it did. This is purely infectious music, and while drawing comparisons to Phoenix in a writeup might be pushing it a bit for another artist, Atlas Genius can just about pull it off.

The track is called Trojans, and as far as I can tell it’s the first song Atlas Genius have recorded in the studio. It goes through a whole range of styles throughout its three-and-a-half minute duration, but at all times it’s a carefree and well-arranged track that is littered with countless hooks. While it’s technically due for digital release July 19th, you can grab it for free from the band’s Unearthed page, which seems to be receiving a criminally low amount of attention at the moment.
