Music is what initially brought atmos bloom — Tilda Gratton and Curtis Paterson — together when Tilda auditioned to play bass in Curtis’ band at the University in Manchester. Their first musical venture together: a psych-rock-shoegaze outfit inspired by bands such as Sonic Youth, Pavement and julie ignited a love for being in a band and making music.
Seven years on from those rainy nights rehearsing in Trafford, the duo, now life partners living in London, are set to release their most compelling record yet. Everythingness was born out of a series of balancing acts, the journey through youth and young adulthood, chasing adventure while longing for home and falling in love with the city where they found this home, yet still needing to escape it in order to think and create. The record maps the duo’s journey through these themes whilst staying true to what initially brought the two together. It’s set for a July 24 release via Spirit Goth.
Alongside the album announcement, they share the new single and video for ‘Everything.’ It captures the hypnotic elements of the band’s swirling formula.
On ‘Everything,’ the band share: “‘Everything’ is about the impossible task of trying to be everything all at once, balancing all that life throws at you whilst trying to find yourself and your place amidst it all. The song explores young adulthood and figuring out the transition between adolescence and womanhood, working through a mountain of contradictory advice and solutions. ‘Everything’ feels like walking a tightrope, wanting to do one thing for one reason and something else for another, knowing each decision pulls you further in a different direction.
“The video explores the contrasts, balancing acts and layers of our identity, visually intertwining different versions of ourselves whilst searching for our place, everything all at once.”
