Man From Atlantis
Volume 1
Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, The Man From Atlantis is an artist that creates a particularly unique psychedelic folk rock melange that is rich with heart, empathy and dream-like atmospheres. Throughout this release, TMFA combines elements of American bluegrass, blues and even Indian classical music together into raw expressions of acid-influenced catharsis. Some tracks, like the meditative 'Death Rattle,' feature pastoral acoustic mantras that eventually bloom into full hallucinatory meanderings, complete with Matt Valentine-like fried electric solos. These, as well as all of the other tracks, feel as though the artist is actively breaching through their own darkness, and finding a light that moves them forward in real time.
