Atomica is a union of downtempo beats and stunning female vocals, amplified by an organic warmth generally absent from electronic music. Devised by programmer/songwriter Wade Alin, the writing for Atomica's debut album, Metropolitan, is heavily influenced by his experiences living in New York and by the tone of the city.
After relocating to Chicago, Alin began to execute his vision for Atomica and was fortunate enough to happen upon evocative vocalist Lauren Cheatham. Together they began recording the preliminary tracks for Metropolitan, ultimately adding keyboardist Percy Trayanov and drummer Rey Guajardo to the mix
Metropolitan maneuvers effortlessly through genres, incorporating elements of trip hop, orchestral, downtempo, and lo-fi, all the while illustrating a compelling story of loss, affliction, collapse and recovery through Alin's unadorned writing approach and Cheatham's impassioned delivery. While fans of Portishead, Bjork, and Lamb are certain to appreciate, Metropolitan introduces a sound that is distinctly Atomica. |
