Actually, that’s false, but blogwise I’m collecting dust. At any rate, just a quick word about two guys that don’t know the meaning of lazy, at least when it comes to getting their music out.
Say what you will about Twin Cities duo Atmosphere, you can’t fuck with their work ethic. A dozen tours in half as many years, consistent output of LPs, EPs and side projects, and now a weekly YouTube show hosted by Slug and Ant. Admittedly I’m a fan, but you can’t knock the hustle even if you hate their music.
Basically, in these segments,they sit at someone’s basement bar answering viewer mail in a back-and-forth interview format that burns 10 minutes up pretty nicely. Ant brings a Hollywood cool to balance out Slug’s Appalachian hillbilly swagger, both bringing it home to roost with their Midwestern folksiness. It’s pretty much comedy.
Their new LP, When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold, drops April 22. Here’s a rundown of the campaign trail so far:
- Three new installments of the Sad Clown teaser EP series, with a
fourth due any second now.
- A free online full-length album, “Strictly Leakage”
- The YouTube show
- The leak of "Shoulda Known", the first single from Lemons
- A sold-out pre-order deal" that includes a limited edition copy of the new CD
Also, between now and the end of ’09 expect them to have moved to your city and been over for Sunday dinner at Grandma’s.
