Atolls (band)
Atolls was an Australian surf-rock[a] trio from Geelong[b] fronted by Lucas Skinner from King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard alongside Sam Ingles and Oli Grinter that existed from 2011 to 2014. HistoryAtolls was described as the leading surf-rock band coming out of the crowded Geelong surf-rock scene.[3] Their debut singles; Mumble and Water, would be released as a joint b-side which won Time Off's "Single Of The Week."[2] Lucas is a strong supporter of preserving cassettes as a form of media, and advocated strongly for the bands music to be released on tape.[4] Mumble and Water would later be released as part of the band's debut EP Hair Machine which was largely based on demos that Skinner created that fell outside King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard's style.[3] Inpress considered Hair Machine a potential "slacker anthem-of-the-year."[2] The band would release a second EP, New Dream, the following year described as a "mixture of high and earthy tones" and "laidback, garage goodness." In the buildup to its release the band released one of the EP's songs, Dwell Breaker as a single.[5] StyleThe band was described as a middle ground between The Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and The Dandy Warhols with a blend of psych-rock and surf-rock similar to The Black Lips.[1] Near the end of the bands existence it was described as "criminally undervalued and perpetually overlooked."[5] DiscographySingles
