“Like an invitation you weren’t expecting to get, Atlas Genius knocks on your door and creeps into your peripheries in stealth mode. Fair warning: “Trojans” will invade your head, all dressed up in a clever disguise of earnest vocals riding a hooky riff that easily approaches Phoenix-esque levels of infectiousness. And then there’s that driving bassline gliding over a frenetic bridge with athletic ease, the kind of thing cruise control dreams are made of. It pulls up outside your window, blasting from a fully functional boombox, shouldered by some dude in a trenchcoat holding the weight of the world. It won’t leave. And then you realize you never want it to. If you need protection from generic brand “party indie”, try this one on for size.”
Within hours of Andrew’s review, the Atlas Genius inbox started filling with mail from, record companies, music lawyers and radio promoters, as well a whole new community of bloggers and tweeters.
In the 24hr period following the review, “Trojans” had in excess of 2000 downloads.
The band is committed to releasing individual tracks as soon as they are recorded, and playing the songs live.

Atlas Genius Lyrics
Take it off, take it in
Take off all the thoughts of what we've been
Take a look, hesitate
Take a picture you could never recreate
Write a song, make a note
For the lump that sits inside your throat
Change the locks, change the scene
Change it all but can't change what we've been
Oh, oh your Trojan's in my head
Oh, oh your Trojan's in my head
Your Trojan's in my head
It's OK if it's gone
The thoughts that you had that it was the one
And oh what is left?
For all those times is that what you get?
Oh regardless
The walls get painted anyway
Oh you're guarding
The gates, but it all got away
Oh, oh your Trojan's in my head
Oh, oh your Trojan's in my head
Your Trojan's in my head
Your Trojan's in my head
Your Trojan's in my head
Your Trojan's in my head
Take it off, take it in
Take off all the thoughts of what we've been
Take a look, hesitate
Take a picture you could never recreate
Write a song, make a note
For the lump that sits inside your throat
Change the locks, change the scene
Change it all but can't change what we've been
Oh, oh your Trojan's in my head
Oh, oh your Trojan's in my head
Oh, oh your Trojan's in my head
Oh, oh your Trojan's in my head
Your Trojan's in my head
Take it off, take it in
All the thoughts of what we've been
Take off all the thoughts of what we've been

i love the beat to this song, i just love everything about it, it's lyrics, etc., yet it sucks that it's ruined by an awful memory.

Take off all the thoughts of what we've been

2011-2013 was such an amazing time for indie/alternative music, most of my favorite songs are from that era.
Andrew Isaacson
Dude I was just thinking that. And it’s 2021

I agree!!!!!!!! Same with me.
I miss this kind of music (indie rock/pop) as well as indie folk like Of Monsters and Man, Mumford and Sons, Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros etc.

This song hits me so hard because I've been in the same situations. Let me explain what this song is about. He's haunted by the thoughts of three people. The twins who were afraid or disgusted at him as a kid. He was bullied, and was an outcast. He was an only child with with a single mother. He remembers how she tried to find another husband but eventually failed. We see later in the video of her as an old woman. The third thing that haunts him is his ex. She loved him and he loved her but they weren't meant for each other. Perhaps something happened that upset her, but in the end they ended up seperate. The pain he has is that he can't change the past, no matter how much he wants to. Those 'trojans' are memories that he still thinks about I know all three personally. Just wanted to share this with anyone out there who's willing to read this.
