ATM Musick – New Wave (Palmyra) 12″

The latest 12″ from ATM Musick finds the North West outfit moving between new wave hypnosis, sunshine bagginess and cosmic progressive rock across three contrasting cuts.
Opening the record, stuttering organ lines awash with delay gradually give way to a propulsive new wave chug, as shimmering synths, haunting vocals and ghostly vocal edits converge into slow-burning dancefloor psychedelia.
B1 reimagines Fink It’s Not Illegal Yet as a dubbed-out slice of sunshine bagginess, where rolling bass, gangsta synths, nylon-string guitar and lazy percussion drift through lysergic atmospheres.
Closing proceedings, the vinyl-exclusive B2 captures a fifteen-minute live recording, later expanded in the studio with additional drums and ethereal textures, evolving into a slow-listening journey through the cosmos. Bernie Connor described it as “the zenith of British prog rock”.
Strictly limited to 100 copies on white disc vinyl, housed in blind-embossed sleeves with minimalist white labels and a fold-over obi strip.
