All About Atmosphere
Atmosphere [Audio]: More optimistic than ever
by angy on December 2nd, 2008
US duo Atmosphere have long been considered the flipside of the macho posturing of hip hop, but lyricist Slug takes serious issue with any claim their latest album can be defined as ‘dark’. He insists it's their most optimistic effort yet. [more]
Atmosphere [Audio]: Painting the picture
If the dominant strain of US hip hop thrives on bravado and boasts, then Minneapolis duo Atmosphere may just represent the flipside. Laden with self-critique, introspection and the minutiae of daily life, their music is unapologetically intense. [more]
Whilst hip hop has recently been described to me as 'a sinking ship of which I must get off', You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having and Felt II were two albums of 2005 that convinced me to stay with Captain Hip Hop and go down in the sea of shit that was Juelz Santana & Sizzerp [more]
The conflicted & emotionally charged, self depreciating lyricism that you hear on an Atmosphere record is 100% Slug. After my time with him I had never been more aroused, confused, enraged & speechless in my life. [more]

Having just returned from Splendour in the Grass 2006, I sit down and wonder where to begin describing the two full days of amazing live performances across a number of stages at Belongil Fields near Bryon Bay. [more]
Atmosphere has a massive fan base for an underground hip hop artist, so it is kind of surprising that this was his first solo tour to Australia. Their only other appearance was on the BDO tour last year... [more]
Walking through Hyde Park on a cool and quiet Thursday night, the beats of Macromantics grew ever louder as I approached the Barracks. This is one of the most unique venues in Sydney, sparked to life by the Sydney Festival. [more]

Atmosphere - You Can't Imagine How Much Fun We're Having
Album number five from Atmosphere, this one is bound to polarise fans. Their sound, in particular the production, is the most accessible it has ever been. As a result many of the backpack wearing nerd rap lovers are up in arms, complaining on message boards worldwide. [more]
Atmosphere - Headshots: Se7en
Atmosphere is probably best summed up as the antithesis of commercial hip hop, buried in the underground back pack firmly over their shoulders and pouring their soul through music. Headshots Se7ven is somewhat of a wholly grail to their legions of fans. [more]
Sometimes thunderous, sometimes whiney emo rap from underground hip-hop trio. "Get real they tell me...if only they knew how real this life really gets, they would stop acting like a silly bitch..." [more]
