In 2011, Atlas Genius saw immediate success with the breakthrough of their debut hit single “Trojans.” Over the last ten years, the Australian-bred band of brothers has proven that their knack for creating catchy-yet-meaningful alt-pop was no fluke. Atlas Genius has amassed nearly 300 million streams to date, played on sold-out arena tour line-ups (with the likes of Imagine Dragons, Weezer, and Panic! At The Disco), and have been invited to perform on national shows such as The Tonight Show, The Late Late Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live. Now, the group is back with a new project that shows how artists can reach their highest heights just by going home. Atlas’ newest single, “Elegant Strangers,” initially started as a collaboration between singer Keith Jeffery, acclaimed producer Ben H. Allen (Animal Collective, Bombay Bicycle Club) and The Bravery singer/songwriter Sam Endicott (The Bravery, Shakira). After many attempts in Los Angeles, the band flew to Australia in early 2020 to record in their studio. Built by hand by the three Jeffery brothers and their father, the studio gave birth to Atlas Genius and their 2012 debut album 'When It Was Now' and the gold single “Trojans.” From the whirlwind that ensued, their home studio lay dormant for almost eight years. Atlas Genius went back to their roots to capture the energy of the remote area where they grew up in South Australia.
