Atmosphere is the stage name of Minnesota rapper/DJ duo Sean Daley (Slug) and Anthony Davis (Ant). Their sixth album, their first in three years, is titled ‘Family Sign’. For the new album Slug and Ant are joined by Nate “The Guitar Man” Collins (guitar) and Erick Anderson (keys). Collins’ guitar work helps give a bluesy, gritty feel to the album alongside Anderson’s piano work adding texture rather than melody. All the while Ant keeps the bands minimalist stripped back Hip Hop sound.
