Oh, Atoms来自英国伦敦,由Gwen Cheeseman和Marc Withecomb组成的二人乐队,两人都擅长多乐器的演奏,口琴声,曼陀林,班卓琴等这些旋律优美的乐器被他们运用的恰当好处,前在自选集里推荐过他们的一首Sugar Mouse,同时这首曲子还被收录到电影Angus, Thongs And Perfect Snogging的OST中!
Oh, Atoms came to be in the summer months of 2007. Formed from the ashes of The Feeling Good Conspiracy - a London outfit whose champions included Steve Lamacq at Radio 1 - it is the musical vehicle for one Gwen Atom and one Marc Atom, two multi-instrumentalists who share a musical past as varied as their music is sweet.
Those of you really paying attention may well recognise Gwen from Psapp, with whom she regularly shares the stage as a permanent member of their touring band. Prior to this her musical history includes time playing live with Menlo Park and live and in the studio with Flotation Toy Warning (for whom she played strings on their debut album). Recently she also contributed violin to the Klima album and sang a track called All Dressed Up In Dreams on DJ Downfall's latest longplayer, Bon Viveur. You can read about it here.
Marc had played in various British bands before relocating to the US where he took his guitar and ever-growing book of songs around the Greyhound route, playing bars and radio stations from LA to Texas via the midwest. After months of this troubadour lifestyle he ended up in Austin, where he formed weird-alt-country outfit Guido Falls and was a regular live singer/songwriter performer as well as session guitarist with bands such as After 909. He also bakes a mean enchillada.
As fate would have it, t'was in Texas where the pair's paths would ultimately cross. Gwen bumped into Marc in Austin's infamous Continental Club during a night off from touring the US with Jose Gonzalez and Psapp. The pair talked... the pair drank... the pair pondered.... and Oh, Atoms was born.
Fast forward twelve months and much has come of that fateful meeting. Armed with a chestful of songs, written together in close collaboration and taking inspiration from 1930s tea dances, victorian darkness, dead film stars, suspicious circumstances and selected confectionery, their music caught the ear of the folk at Sony/ATV who swiftly signed them to a global publishing deal in May last year. The band's debut album is released on 2 February 2009.
