Australia is constantly churning out great indie groups, and Atlas Genius is no exception. They released their debut LP When It Was Now a couple months back, and just last week put out a cover of Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” that elevates the original. (Truth be told, I’m not a huge fan of the original, but I dig their acoustic rendition. Hoping DP has more to offer on their new album that releases next week).
If you’re not already familiar, sample the group’s genius with the infectious tracks “Trojans” and “Symptoms” below.
And for another great cover of the XX, go here.
