725) Atlas Genius - Balladino

We've been occasional listeners of Atlas Genius' music for about seven years now, but we haven't gotten around to recommending a track from their repertoire until today. Enter "Balladino", a hopeful and optimistic indie rock song about holding on in a tough situation, accompanied by a painstaking WWII-themed stop motion music video. The band, comprised of three brothers Keith, Michael, and Steven Jeffery, has been rocking the Adelaide music scene since 2009, in a style somewhere around the mid-point between Vampire Weekend and Cage The Elephant's newer material. Following the release of their sophomore album, "Inanimate Objects", from which "Balladino" is taken, Atlas Genius toured with Weezer and Panic! At The Disco which fits rather well with the sound of the 2015 tune. Lyrically, the song is very fitting for the dark times we live in today, five years after it came out. The notion behind the lyrics is that we need to make the most out of the little bit of hope we can gather when times get hard and it feels easy to lose faith. The song also stands the test of time sonically, with a fresh and unique rock style that will certainly embed the track in our memories as timeless.
Enjoy! ♪
