Their album Leo's Rising may dip its toes in the psychedelic waters, but it never goes completely under. Hailing from Texas, the unofficial state of experimental rock, they may have the home field advantage! But one thing that sets them apart from their psyche rock brethren is soul. Where most groups of the genre look to the psychedelic era for inspiration, Atlantis Aquarius are firmly rooted in the music aspect first and foremost. Blending folk, gospel, R&B, and good old fashion rock n' roll, the music of this duo is just as familiar as it is spacey. By keeping the focus on melody and tight grooves, they make the experimental aspects even more exciting when they come into play. The best track for setting up the mythos is "Waiting On The Next Life". It essentially plays like a theatrical trailer for the rest of the album. There's a funky groove, gospel vocals, and gnarly organ tone complete with a Billy Preston-esque piano solo, all wrapped up in the perfect preview of what this band is about.
