Sinistrous puppeteers of production, innominate duo ATLiens have asserted half a decade of influence towards the broader strokes of the trap music scene, with foundational accomplishments such as their debut release ‘Chief’ with THIEVES in 2015, followed shortly thereafter with resonant collaboration ‘Cavern’ alongside Quality Goods Records founder UZ.
Concealed with anonymity, the duo sheds the urgency of public notoriety, marching strictly to the beat of their own drum, ushering tasteful experimental pivots in caliber such as last year’s Invasion EP, embodying a persistent work ethic and insatiable appetite for evolution.
Prelusive of a long-anticipated sophomore project, ‘CLOSER’ with mau5trap newcomer EDDIE foreshadows the next ill-omened chapter for the duo. Soft digital dialogue transfixes your attention briefly before cavernous reverberating subs forged deep within the core of the Earth permeate the foreground, while seismic heaves of bass, intelligently laced snares, and complexity of digital fills provide an unsettling atmospheric tactility to the track.
