#38 This Is Atlantis

Posted on 1 April 2011 by azam, 39 . Tags: ,

With a magnificent aptitude for texture and a distinctive blend of both the intricate and organic, Fadzil, Wan G, Sufi and Noor’s chemistry makes them unmistakably This Is Atlantis. Guitar works that complement each other with each own’s unique style, sometimes uniting to deliver strength in a single guitar pattern to give their music trouble free dynamics, edge and that definitively post rock climaxes. Their drummer, quite decisively seems to refuse to give in to the atmospheric soundscapes solely, and chooses to escape by giving those ethereal melodies some little mathy calculative madness. With each member’s unique style, an arguably genuine sound arises.

While the possible existence of a genuine Atlantis remains mythical, the four men of This Is Atlantis surfaces from the nation across the ocean from us and affirms their existence with that strength in their sound. Although the boys have hardly an enough amount of releases to satisfy the regional music hunter’s thirst, there are a few tracks available for streaming on their Myspace and plenty of videos of their live gigs on their Facebook Page. One could also mail order their split CD with Nazark from Utarid Distro’s website. They play rather frequently in KL’s small though diverse and accepting scene, so we at the Wknd will be sure to keep a lookout for upcoming ones, as we all wait in anticipation for a release from the men of This Is Atlantis.

    @Average Joe

    Fender Jaguar bukan nye rare pun bang. Kalau pakai SUpro ke, Kay, Teisco, Harmony tu lain cerita lah haha.

    As for This is Atlantis, I think their music is just Ok lah.

    Hey Wknd why not do a session with this SG band, B-Quartet ( they opened for Tortoise recently and they blew me away!)?

  • Job For A Petani

  • jude

    i love this band. been listening to them lately.inspiration! new shows please.

  • Average Joe Punk Rocker Is Dead By Now So They Go Sell Out

    Post rock or shoe-gaze or whatever they called is definitely a new girl pick up line. Typical average “jambu” guy with multi-nicely-arrange-new-bought-effect with new trendy fashion, with either Fender Jaguar or rare-stuff-guitar as weapon will definitely gave make a lonesome-emo”tive”-artsy-fartsy-rebel girl a dripping saliva and dropping jaw. But come on, we need better music, better act, better character in our music. This will not make me cum on my pants. LAME!

    mots: support local music, but not all. :)

  • joe

    rhythmically complex, love the drumming style. not your typical post rock band. no vocals needed, just listen and observe..

    p.s you guys should do a tour around the region
    keep the new stuff coming. love it!

  • Ashraf Fareeq

    Post rock is fetting trendy nowadays but definitely each of the band has their own definitive sound. Although there’s no ‘mass difference’ at least they come up with good song arrangement. Good job.
