In the three years since Atmosphere's dropped a full length record on the world,
they've been far from stagnant, staying at the top of their game in every respect. For
the better part of two years, Atmosphere toured the globe in support of their critically
acclaimed - and #5 Billboard Top 200 charting - album, When LIfe Gives You
Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold. And in their "spare" time, the group returned
home to Minneapolis in 2009 to record their 2010 double EP, To All My Friends, Blood
Makes The Blade Holy, an homage to their friends.
In 2011, Atmosphere is taking that feeling one step farther with this long awaited LP,
The Family Sign, a tribute to their true extended family: their fans, their loved ones, and
each other.
The Family Sign was written early in 2010, and as they sat down to record the record,
the Family grew a few times over. In the studio, Atmosphere was joined by long time
touring musicians Nate "The Guitar Man" Collis (guitar) and Erick Anderson (keys).
At home, 2010 also saw the addition of two real-life children to the Atmosphere family,
further inspiring the writing process and the concept, and title, of the album.
The Family Sign comes from a place well refined and firmly planted, from a universal
perspective. It's about being okay with losing friends and strengthening your bonds
with others, celebrating the person who's been the most positive in your life, your kids,
your homies, leaving the people you need to behind, and bringing the ones you love
with you. It's about your family, your time and the time you have with them. It's about
living and dying. It's the truth about family, that it comes from loyalty as much as
biology. It's about breaking down your perceptions of family and really appreciating the
people who've made you who you are and continue doing so.
The Family Sign is Atmosphere's most personal and intimate album yet; it involves and
engages the listener like never before. Slug's signature voice weaves in and out of
Ant's ASR-born production, Nate Collis' bluesy guitar riffs and the sound of Erick
Anderson's unmistakable keys giving The Family Sign a fresh, unique edge without
sacrificing Atmosphere's signature sound.
