LYRICS:
Take me back now, take me back now

I see you standing in the driveway
Looking hotter than a California summer
My lips were drier than the drought that day 
You lay one on me you lay one on me anyways

I see us passed out at your pool
I know we got shit to do but that ain't no new news
So take me back now, take me back now
Take me back now, take me back now

Everything's different now but change is all good
I haven't seen you in a minute and that's on me
But know when they say your name, they can watch me, watch them watch me dissolve

Skip town along with the sunset
My pretty baby and my golden afternoon
My window's always rolled down
Take me back now take me back now

Everything's different now but change is all good
I haven't seen you in a minute and that's on me
But know when they say your name, they can watch me, watch them watch me dissolve

But know when they say your name, they can watch me, watch them watch me dissolve (x2)

Welcome to Daytrotter

Cubism Dream [Daytrotter]

Sticky Thread [Daytrotter]

Wide Eyes [Daytrotter]

10 years of failure. That’s how you’d describe Sister Wanzala’s “career” to date. They broke out in 2016 proudly proclaiming that their self styled “cold funk” would make people dance and cry. They promised to comfort those mourning Prince, Bowie, Cohen and Michael.

But did they? No. A thousand vinyl copies of debut Bodies On the Loose EP (2016) slowly warped under lead singer Patrick Wanzala-Ryan’s bed. The sole highlight of their The Circus EP (2019) is that it only lasts 17 minutes and 10 seconds. In 2022, fresh out of the pandemic, they released Perfume, which is an ok song. Top Drawer followed, which would be an ok song for a different band.

So what now? Another song? It looks like it.

The new song is “Now You’re Mine”. For this next attempt the brothers (Patrick, Mark and Chris Wanzala-Ryan) headed back to basics. Back to cold funk. Using their only good song “Shy Heat / Heaven” as reference. But not the bloated, auto-tuned belch you’ll find hovering at a paltry 12.5k listens on Spotify. Rather the sultry home recording that caught a wave on soundcloud of all places and led them to appear on Channel 4’s Four to the Floor along fellow rising star Little Simz.

So, how are the results? Is it funky? Yeah. After the intro’s gameshow jazz chord workout the drum and bass knock into the kind of sinewey groove that might get a crowd dancing if they really wanted to.

Is it cold? Again, yes, just about. Blurred guitars slice across the groove and nothing like listening to a man yelping “no one ever put me first, no one ever asked me why” to freeze one over.

Is it a success? Time will tell. But it won’t matter, if Sister Wanzala follow their usual trajectory they’ll split up at Christmas and return in 2028 with a new song “that is really cold funk this time we swear”. 

Now You're Mine

About Atlas Genius-
The members of Adelaide, Australia’s Atlas Genius do things a little differently….They set about building a studio where they could write and record music for their newly formed band 3 years before they even played their first live show as Atlas Genius. For two years, they devoted their days to constructing their dream studio and spent their nights performing songs by The Police, The Beatles and The Rolling Stones at local pubs to pay the bills. “We really got down and dirty with dry walling and literally laying the floorboards, and at the same time we were taking a couple of days a week to focus on writing songs,” recalls Keith Jeffery, Atlas Genius’s vocalist/guitarist. "We had a lot of song ideas and it was important to us to have our own studio where we could experiment and hone in on our sound," adds brother and drummer, Michael Jeffery. The studio was designed and outfitted by the brothers with the help of their father (who comes from a music and engineering background). Once the studio was complete, the first song that Atlas Genius finished was a song called “Trojans,” which they wrote, recorded and produced in collaboration with their friend, keyboardist Darren Sell. After many weeks tweaking the song, Michael insisted that the song was ready to be heard outside of the studio walls. Within an hour, “Trojans” was on the Triple J Unearthed Website, SoundCloud, and for sale via TuneCore on iTunes, Amazon and Spotify worldwide.

“We had begun to think that music was a pipedream and we had all gone back to university to pursue more realistic careers,” says Keith. “We’d had such a long slog of playing late nights and working all day, and it felt like we didn’t really have anything to show for it.” But then, in the midst of cramming for their Fall 2011 semester final exams, Neon Gold discovered “Trojans” on the Triple J Unearthed Website and wrote a post praising “Trojans” as a song sure to “invade your head, all dressed up in a clever disguise of earnest vocals riding a hooky riff.” Checking the band’s email account for the first time in over a month, the band found that dozens of record labels, publishers, lawyers, booking agents and management companies from all over the world had contacted them.

“We were trying to focus on school, but it was just impossible,” recalls Keith. “So we said, ‘There’s something going on here. Let’s get back to the music.’” The band added manager, Jonny Kaps from +1, to their extended family to navigate all of the interest as the band focused on writing and recording more songs.

Quickly named an iTunes Single of the Week in Australia and New Zealand, “Trojans” reached #4 on Hype Machine by the end of May. In August, SiriusXM Satellite Radio’s Alt-Nation discovered the song on a blog and decided to give it some spins. There was an immediate reaction from listeners, and in September, “Trojans” was placed into heavy rotation, where it maintained a top-five position on the listener-generated Alt-18 countdown and peaked at number one for 4 consecutive weeks in January 2012. “Trojans” began selling over a thousand tracks per week on U.S. iTunes and soon climbed to 45,000 sales - all with zero promotional efforts from the still-unsigned Atlas Genius.

“Knowing we had this audience that was waiting on new songs, we had a much greater sense of purpose than we had before,” says Keith. “It was really exciting to know that there were people who wanted to hear more of our music.” Although labels were clamoring for the band to come to the U.S. and play a series of showcase gigs, Atlas Genius turned down those offers in favor of staying in Adelaide to keep writing and recording new songs. In February 2012, after months of communicating with numerous labels via Skype, the band chose to travel to the US in order to make their label decision.

“We’d never been to America before,” says Keith. “We flew in at night and saw this sea of lights, and it really became apparent to us how massive the U.S. is. It was pretty intimidating - like ‘How do we fit into all this?’” In April 2012, the band returned to the states having made their decision to sign with Warner Bros. Records. “We felt a connection with them,” notes Keith. “Everyone there feels very creative and dedicated to the music.”

The band’s first release from their new label home, the EP Through The Glass (produced, engineered and mixed by the band), came out in June of 2012. With Through The Glass completed, Atlas Genius then holed up in its studio and worked on writing and recording its first full-length album, while at the same time rehearsing for their first ever tour. The tour started in August 2012 and led to three more tours back to back taking them thru to the end of the year. Thus, their full-length debut was finished up between tour dates and got completed just before Christmas 2012. When It Was Now is set for a US release on February 19th, 2013, with an international release to follow soon after.

The debut captures Atlas Genius’s singular combination of sophisticated musicality and warm, wistful spirit. Infused with a classic sensibility, each of the songs would fit seamlessly if somehow slipped into a long-treasured mixtape. On the shimmering “Symptoms,” for instance, taut keyboard riffs mesh with urgent acoustic strumming before the band bursts into a gently frenetic, guitar-drenched chorus. Meanwhile, “Back Seat” blends its pulsing bass throb with a sweetly infectious beat and tender vocals that alternately soar and sigh. And on “Trojans,” Atlas Genius begins with a restrained guitar melody and vocal (“Take it off, take it in/Take off all the thoughts of what we’ve been”) before giving way to the handclap-accented, harmony-soaked refrain and lush yet kinetic bridge.

“It’s still surreal,” says Keith of all that’s happened over the past 18 months. “I think when we were very young, we had hopes that something like this might happen one day,” he continues. (Thanks largely to encouragement from their Beatles fanatic parents, who encouraged the brothers to begin playing music by age 14.) “But then you grow up a bit and it seems less and less likely. So when we put ‘Trojans’ out, we figured it would be a success if maybe a hundred people heard it. We don’t want to force our music onto anyone. Our goal is to write songs that we love and we hope they connect with other people too.”
