Upon watching videos on Youtube, I managed to stumble on a band named Atlas Genius and instantly fell in love.  With their new album, “When It Was Now” hot off the racks, it’s safe to say that any Indie lover would be excited to listen to this album. The main hit off the album “Trojans,” gives off an 80’s feeling to it and also has an upbeat sound that makes you want to dance. “If So” is also very similar to “Trojans” and can be considered as the second main single off of “When It Was Now.” The opener of the album “Electric,” can be compared to the musical sounds of bands such as The Rapture and The Killers. “Electric” starts the album off on an amazing start, gives the album the sparkle it deserves and will hopefully let this album flourish for many years to come.

Before “When It Was Now” arrived, there was just the EP “Through the Glass“ released. The EP and the album aren’t very different from each other but the band has grown since first releasing their EP. Atlas Genius has come very far as a band and should be given a chance to be heard. The song “Trojans” was originally released on the EP, but the band decided to include it unto the main album because of the great feedback it received from fans.

The instruments the band uses really adds to the sound of their music. With the unique sounding guitars, drums, and the occasional 80’s feel to it, the album is sure to win the hearts of many indie lovers out there and keep hold of them for a while to come.
