LOS ANGELES, CA - September 2, 2015 - Atlas Genius' new album, Inanimate Objects - the follow-up to the band's breakthrough debut, When It Was Now - is out now and available HERE. The band has unveiled the official video for the first single, "Molecules." Directed by longtime collaborator Claire Marie Vogel, it can be viewed HERE.

Atlas Genius is currently touring the U.S. in support of Inanimate Objects. At 9:20 p.m. PT tonight, Yahoo! Live will stream their headline show at House of Blues in San Diego, CA. The band will also be joining Passion Pit on tour, beginning with a show at House of Blues in Dallas on September 6 and including a performance at The Wiltern in Los Angeles on October 28^th. Tickets are available HERE. See below for itinerary.

 

Entertainment Weekly hailed Inanimate Objects as one of the best new albums and noted, "it's a huge leap forward for the band-the hooks are bigger, the production deeper and more angular, and the grooves tighter. Jittery shout-along single 'Molecules' is the centerpiece, and it's an undeniable gem." The Huffington Post heralded the album as a "solid collection of catchy, diverse tracks fit for either the funkiest of parties or the rainiest of days." "Listening to 'A Perfect End' with good quality headphones is a dream," said IndieShuffle.

 

The band, which features brothers Keith and Michael Jeffery, produced Inanimate Objects with Frederik Thaae in Studio City, CA. While in Southern California, they were introduced to celebrity chef Jeff Mahin (Stella Barra, Summer House, M Kitchen) by Fitz and The Tantrums' Noelle Scaggs. He asked Atlas Genius to follow in Noelle's footsteps and participate in a DoRite Collab. Together with Mahin and Chef Francis Brennan, the band concocted the "Friendly Ape" donut, which is available exclusively at DoRite Donuts in Chicago through September 11. Named after a track on Inanimate Objects, the vegan donut combines slow roasted Michigan apples with a cardamom vanilla bean glaze, cinnamon granola and spices. Zach Brooks speaks with Atlas Genius in the latest "Food is the New Rock" podcast, which can be found HERE.

 

Atlas Genius' 2013 full-length debut, When It Was Now, was hailed by Rolling Stone as a "spritely, melodic debut album" and featured the Gold-certified hit single "Trojans." After first being discovered by a slew of blogs, "Trojans" gained momentum online and on the radio. The band was signed to Warner Bros. Records and began 18 months of non-stop touring, including two national headline tours, opening for Imagine Dragons and Silversun Pickups and playing festivals like Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Sasquatch, Firefly and many others. They also performed on numerous television shows, including The Tonight Show With Leno, The Late Show With David Letterman, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Conan and Jimmy Kimmel Live!
