Australia’s Atlas Genius Coming to Soho in Santa Barbara
Despite only recording and releasing a three-song EP thus far in their career, Adelaide, Australia’s Atlas Genius have garnered a burgeoning buzz. Brothers Keith, Steven, and Michael Jeffery have already had their songs reach the top five of SiriusXM Satellite Radio’s Alt-18 Countdown, fourth on Hypemachine, and designated an iTunes Single of the Week for Australia and New Zealand. The band is putting the finishing touches on its first full album and is coming to Soho in Santa Barbara on Friday, August 17th with Animal Kingdom courtesy of Club Mercy. Check out two studio versions of songs Trojans and Back Seat, followed by an acoustic version of Symptoms for Sirius below. They present breezy pop that fosters a bit of Foster the People, though the lyrics (on Trojans particularly) and playing portend depth and promise. Time will tell. Come out to Soho on 8/17 and see for yourselves.
