London dreamgaze duo atmos bloom announce new album Everythingness, share "Everything" single

The pair first met when Gratton auditioned to play bass in Paterson’s Manchester band. Seven years on, now life partners living in the capital, they have channelled the push and pull of young adulthood into a self-recorded collection that they say maps a period of flux rather than resolution. The new single “Everything” arrives with a video directed by the band, and their statement below unpacks the restlessness at its core.

“'Everything' is about the impossible task of trying to be everything all at once, balancing all that life throws at you whilst trying to find yourself and your place amidst it all,” they explained. “The song explores young adulthood and figuring out the transition between adolescence and womanhood, working through a mountain of contradictory advice and solutions. 'Everything' feels like walking a tightrope, wanting to do one thing for one reason and something else for another, knowing each decision pulls you further in a different direction.”

The video mirrors that tension, layering multiple versions of the self as the duo search for solid ground. It is the first glimpse of the new record, their first since 2022’s Flora. That album was shaped by the easing of pandemic restrictions: a jangly, hopeful group of tunes inspired by Alvvays and Beach Fossils. Everythingness draws from a wider palette. The duo cite DIIV, Ulrika Spacek, Deerhunter, and Broadcast as touchstones, while holding onto the psych-rock and shoegaze foundations that brought them together. The album was recorded and produced by the pair.

The artwork reflects the patchwork nature of the writing process, collaging the environments where the record took shape. A clock-like rhythm closes the final track, underlining the loop of highs and lows that the title suggests. The tracklist moves through ten songs without offering a neat conclusion, a choice that leaves the album’s emotional centre deliberately unresolved.

The duo remain rooted in the melodic haze of their earlier influences - Sonic Youth, Pavement, julie - but on Everythingness those reference points are stretched and re-framed. The result is a record that prioritises texture and mood over easy categorisation.
