Not sure what all the fuss is about.. (more…)

It’s always a good start when the intro to a track makes you get up off the couch to make sure you’ve locked the doors and windows. The heavy mechanical breathing, a gradual drone that gets louder (and creepier) as more instruments join its sonorous climb, and an overall feeling of desolation befitting of the cold weather.

Atom Eye is the new solo project from Elsie Martin (formerly of Phantom), and her new EP, Trilogy 120 – Part 1, whets the appetite for what is sure to be a groundbreaking body of work over the next year. The sound is pure cinematic, conjuring apocalyptic images of abandoned buildings, rusted machinery, and a world over run by the undead – or maybe that’s just me and my penchant for George Romero.

There’s a challenge to be had capturing atmosphere in music, while still creating a worthwhile listening experience, and Elsie has more than risen to it. While the first part of Trilogy 120 wouldn’t be out of place at all on a movie soundtrack, it stands firmly enough on its own two feet that it doesn’t need to be. The music sets the scene, while your brain provides the visuals.

I can’t wait to hear the next two instalments.

You can listen to the track at Atom Eye‘s official SoundCloud page.

Part I will be released on La Nausee Records on 6th February 2012. Part II and III of the Trilogy 120 EP will be released on 12th March and 30th April respectively. They will be available as free download singles from Atom Eye’s official website.

It’s every bit as freaky as you think it might be.
