On the Horizon: Clicking, Clacking, Flicking through Atlas.

Mount Kimbie may have vanished from view just as they were beginning to really get clattering with the clacking rhythms and the momentarily cacophonous guitars although Atlas seem more than capable of tiding us over until their return. They are Rem Sutton and Luke Fantom, and the pages bookmarked in the figurative atlas are those containing the towns of Ashby and Measham from where they respectively hail. And while it may hail, sleet and snow outside, there's a snug intimacy to the Emmo-featuring This Is: like the distortion-smeared guitars of Maybes daubed generously over Before I Move Off, Emmo's clear Linnea Jönsson-like delivery of the verse idyllically compliments Katy B-ish samples and pitch-shifted squeals.

Atlas' Soundcloud.
