Biography
THE ATMA
The Atma is a three-piece band from Los Angeles that plays a new breed of independent psychedelic rock and roll music. With a stylistic palette ranging from ominous driving blues riffs, to galloping tribal mantras, to jangly Dylan-esque anthems, the band’s unique and signature sound seems to blend the elements of all the best roots music into surprising new forms.
The current line-up has been together about four years and in that time has had two independent releases Even the Sun E.P. and On My ArtIchoke. The group is presently on the brink of releasing their second full length album Machetes of Gold, which was produced and recorded at the famous Blackbird studios by Niko Bolas. The record itself features a wide range of style and attitude, taking listeners for a Sgt. Pepper style ride through many hills and valleys. Thus far it has garnered prospective interest from a number of media and music industry personnel.
Presently, The Atma is gearing up for their record release, actively seeking opportunities to deliver their songs to live audiences and share the new recordings with the public. The band’s live act is fresh and energetic, invoking all the raw magic and vigor that is reminiscent of the best rock music from the early seventies and the nineties.
