Native to the eclectically romantic city of Montreal, and now temporary resident in London, Ontario, Atlass brings the Old World charm of his home and infuses it with stark synth landscapes and enormously empty drums not only creating a name for himself, but also eradicating any notions of a specific genre. Coupled with his dreamy, intensely reverbed vocals and inventive melodies, this young maverick has fashioned quite a unique project few will be prepared for. It's something you have to hear to understand.
"The Black Atlass EP", his first EP released on Green United Music, is a six song teaser of things to come. Even in the relatively brief foray, lasting only 18 minutes, Altlass manages to create a plethora of different productions styles varying from the sample heavy banger "Ways", to the ethereal keys found cascading amidst the synthesizer wails of the Paris Interlude.
One of the most captivating aspects of this young artist can only be appreciated once you have witnessed him performing his special brand of crooning in person. Armed only with awkward personability and his MPD/computer combo, this troubadour sings while re-producing his beats live, to slay any notions of disbelief in regards to his talent. He even takes the process one step further when he records his music and plays each song's instrumental in real time drectly from his MPD. This means when you listen to his music, the instrumental backing you hear accompanying his vocals are not the result of quantized drum patterns and sequencing, but fined tuned precision and enviable musical ability.
Fusing his polarizingly different sound-scape with an undeniable musicality, Black Atlass is definitely an act to look out for in 2012. You should expect to see a couple interesting collaborations with some well-known Toronto area performers before the end of this year.
Something great this way comes.

Do For Love
Black Atlass Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every minute, all the hours
I'm good to go
Whether I know, whether I don't
Know if I will even make it out alive
I guess that means it still unknown
But if I'm goin' to extremes
'Cause you know that
I'll go a little bit longer, a little bit higher
Yeah I could be stronger, for a little love
I'll go a little bit crazy
Wanna fall inside you, as far as it takes me
For a little love
The things we do for love
I'll go a little bit longer, a little bit higher
Yeah I could be stronger, for a little love
(The things we do for love)
Bat out of hell
Yeah I'm speedin'
Got my reasons
Best believe that
I'm fine by myself
But I like you
A little too much
Believe it if you feel my heart over the edge
I'll go fallin' after it
So if we're goin' to extremes
Tell me what you need from me
'Cause you know that I
I'll go a little bit longer, a little bit higher
Yeah I could be stronger, for a little love
I'll go a little bit crazy
Wanna fell inside you, as far as it takes me
For a little love
The things we do for love
I'll go a little bit longer, a little bit higher
Yeah I could be stronger, for a little love
I'll go a little bit longer, a little bit higher
Yeah I could be stronger, for a little love
I'll go a little bit crazy
Wanna fell inside you, as far as it takes me
For a little love
The things we do for love
I'll go a little bit longer, a little bit higher
Yeah I could be stronger, for a little love
The things we do for love

@ballaking1000
@@icescreenfilmz8627 Right when I heard the chorus, I instantly thought back to the Timberlake/Timbaland/Furtado days and always seeing them on much music. Fuck I miss that era. This song is crazy good.
