AtticOmatic

“Think English Teacher on a bed of Four Tet” LOUD WOMEN

“ever-evolving and full of rich post-rock allure.” The Line of Best Fit

“Fraught with the street-lit motion of an aimless midnight drive, blistering over the tarmac until the nervous system quells…” Hard of Hearing

"Undiscovered" Notion

“they meander through textures of pure rock and pure indie with mix-ins of dream pop and jazz” Far Out Magazine

Brighton’s AtticOmatic resist easy, catch-all definitions. With an enigmatic, eclectic, yet mesmeric sound caught between post-rock, indie, dream-pop, jazz and electronica, debut EP Fold The World - out today (9th May) - is their most comprehensive statement to date

Centred around the relationship between Lorcan Forder and Kamran Kaur and their experiences of ADHD and Autism, each track on Fold The World creates its own wonderfully diverse pocket paradise of love, life, and dreaming. With its title - and artwork - inspired by Lorcan’s step-dad’s origami creations, the EP explores the small things we do to shape our personal realities.

Bolstered by the emphatic backing of BBC Radio 6Music (5 x plays on New Music Fix) as well as airplay from KEXP and Radio X, the band have also won a wealth of tastemaker support in The Line of Best Fit, Notion, Far Out, Rough Trade, Groupie, Hard of Hearing, God Is In The TV and LOUD WOMEN.

Celebrating the release with their biggest headline to date at Brighton’s Dust (300 cap) this month, the band have also announced a support slot with the hotly tipped Man/Woman/Chainsaw in June.

Speaking more about the EP, Kamran says: “We named our debut EP ‘Fold The World’ although none of the tracks are about large world issues or politics or anything like that. They’re just about us, existing in a world that we try to shape as much as we can, in small ways at first and many times starting with our own heads. Lorcan’s step-dad does origami to pass the time - he folded the hundreds of little pieces of paper that you can see on the cover art. When he was folding for hours, we doubt he could predict how each small piece of paper would fit in the bigger picture”

More about AtticOmatic:

Forming in a house-share in Brighton (and including members of contemporaries Flip Top Head in its five-strong line up) Atticomatic have been moving from strength to strength. With just a string of singles to their name so far, the band have sold out numerous shows in their Brighton hometown, were personally invited by Nabihah Iqbal to support her at The 100 Club in September (she also spun the band on her curated BBC Radio 6Music special too), and have chalked up shows too with the likes of highschool, Whitelands, wonderbug, Hank, and TV Priest.
