Following the release of standalone tracks ‘Seer’ and ‘fasterthanyourthoughts’ earlier this year, NORTH ATLAS have announced their new single ‘Superego’, along with a vibrant performance video. The Scottish fellowship often draw creative influence from the folklore of their homelands, whilst also touching on topics of a neurodivergent nature and deeper inward analysis, to create a blistering blend of hard rock and electronica drawing heavily from influences such as Biffy Clyro and Nine Inch Nails.
See the video for ‘Superego’:
“According to Freud, the Superego acts as our moral compass, what he calls the Id describes the drives for primal behaviour, while the regular Ego works to strike a balance between those two needs. The Superego strives for a sort of moral perfection, so I suppose that means there’s usually a cost for what you want. This song is about not paying for what you want by sacrificing your own values.”
Leon Hunter - Vocals
NORTH ATLAS have also announced their long awaited follow up to 2021’s ‘A Weight For The Heavy Handed’, with their new EP ‘The Longest Shadow Attached To The Ankle’ which is due for release on 22nd September and will be accompanied by the bands first ever headline dates in Glasgow, Manchester and London.
Co-produced by the band and George Perks (Enter Shikari, Skindred) at the illustrious Vada Studios, the record sees some of the band’s most dynamic work to date. Twinned with a selection of vibrant videos that draw on their celtic, pagan traditionalist roots, North Atlas have taken the next steps into really discovering their authentic selves and sound.
North Atlas have seen an increasing rise in popularity after using TikTok to create captivating content to ‘break algorithms’ and showcase themselves to fans of their influences, such as Biffy Clyro and Nine Inch Nails, North Atlas now boast over 27K followers on the platform. They have also caught the attention of tastemakers at Spotify and Amazon Music who have championed previous singles on a number of editorial playlists. The band also took to the ‘Takeover’ stage at Download Festival last month after being handpicked by the festival's dedicated Boardie team.
