Inanimate Objects by Atlas Genius

Inanimate Objects, the second album from Adelaide's Atlas Genius, arrived on Warner Bros. on 28 August 2015, two years after When It Was Now and singles like "Trojans" and "If So" had put them on alternative radio. The engine is still the Jeffery brothers, Keith singing and playing lead guitar and Michael on drums, with Darren Sell on keyboards, and the sound is still sleek, synth-glazed alternative rock built for headphones and highway driving.

"Molecules" went first and became a modest hit at alternative stations, lingering on the airplay chart for 22 weeks, with "Stockholm" trailing it onto the countdowns. The album itself had a rougher ride: it grazed the Billboard 200 at number 150 and vanished a week later, a quick exit for a record buffed to this kind of shine.
