Atlas Genius formed in Adelaide, Australia, in November 2009, built around the Jeffery brothers, with Keith singing and playing lead guitar and Michael drumming, with Darren Sell on keyboards. Their calling card was "Trojans", a sleek, sunny slice of indie rock with a rubbery bass line and a chorus that sneaks up on you, also found on the Through the Glass EP from 2012, and it went to 4 on America's Alternative Songs chart.
When It Was Now, the debut album, arrived on 9 February 2013 and reached 34 on the Billboard 200, with "If So" following "Trojans" into the alternative top 10. The band spent much of that year on the road, crisscrossing the US and hitting the UK. Inanimate Objects came in 2015, and "Molecules" and "Stockholm" showed a band leaning harder into synths and polish without losing their knack for a clean, catchy hook.
