Release Notes:
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 Matt Cordier
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.
