Wade Alin and Lauren Cheatham formed The Atomica Project back in 2004, and released their debut Metropolitan in 2005. Their down-tempo beats and never before heard version of electronic music caught them some attention. Actually, it was considered to be one of the best independent albums of the year.
Last May, almost 3 years later, they returned with their follow-up, Grayscale. But, NOW they are going on a tour along the East Coast to support their newest album, First in a Series of Dramatic Events. The duo has added two additions to their lineup: keyboardist/turntablist Dean Dunakin and drummer Corey McCafferty.
You can go check ’em out next month at Your Inner Vagabond. They’ll be there on March 7th, at 7:00 pm. If you’re into Bjork and/or Portishead, you might enjoy The AP. But, if you aren’t sure, you can take a listen before-hand either on MySpace or Last.fm.
