After hitting #4 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart and selling over 200,000 copies of their breakthrough single ‘Trojans’ in the U.S, Australian duo Atlas Genius will release their debut album ‘When It Was Now’ on May 13th on Warner Bros. Records.

Atlas Genius – the Jeffrey brothers Keith (vocals/guitars) and Michael (drums) – built a studio in their home city of Adelaide where they wrote, recorded and produced ‘When It Was Now’, which would later be mixed by Michael Brauer at Electric Lady Studios in New York.

Subsequently named as a Single of the Week in Australia and New Zealand, ‘Trojans’ quickly became a blog favourite reaching #4 on Hype Machine and soon began selling over 1,500 tracks per week in the U.S.

Signed to Warner Bros. Records last spring, Atlas Genius released the three-track EP ‘Through The Glass’. Tracks from the EP were remixed by Lenno, Goldroom and Xaphoon Jones – each of which hit the upper reaches of the Hype Machine chart, peaking and 1, 3 and 3 respectively.

Atlas Genius have since toured extensively with Imagine Dragons, performed ‘Trojans’ on Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel Live and Jimmy Fallon, and received over a million plays on SoundCloud. Their UK profile has so far been boosted by radio support from Zane Lowe at Radio 1 and XFM.
