Guilty

Don’t give a voice to those fateless wonders, let’s consider leaving them behind. Don’t give a face to those loveless strangers and try to block them out of your mind. A mind that wonders like country lanes is spent in these city squares. Letting go of your instructions, so obsolete in this modern freefall. Why don’t I give it away? Where’s the peace in my construction? No you don’t deserve me, well that’s what she said. So I’m counting down with this excuse, in these nothing days I misbehave. 

And all this time we felt so lost. I paid my time you paid the cost. For all those moments we encounter loss: we will know when our paths cross.

Atakarma is an indie/alternative four-piece from the UK with a memorable mix of Strokes-esque riffs and Clash-like soul. The band is composed of; frontman Leo Garbutt, lead guitarist Gideon Olney; bassist Elliot Roffe and drummer Kieran Toft.

The name "Atakarma" was chosen largely because of Leo's Chilean ancestry: the name originates from the Atacama desert in South America, a region which has inspired many of the band's rhythms and their more occasional ambient leanings.

A large part of what drives Atakarma's appeal is their wide range of influences, from indie groups including Arcade Fire, Bright Eyes and Sigur Rós - to blues acts such as the Allman Brothers Band, from pop rock groups such as Green Day and Blink 182 - to folk based legends Led Zeppelin and Bob Dylan.

Lyrically, Atakarma aspires to deconstruct their listeners' personal struggles and resonate with their ambitions, acknowledged by Stephen Morris for the BBC: "there is something about the lyrics and the momentousness of the music that acts as a release".

Atakarma's unique style is completed by their compelling live performances across the UK.
