A group of friends who met in summer camp as the house band for a musical about Woodstock 1969, the members of Brooklyn-based Attics have been making music together for decades. In 2013, they released Time Is Falling, their first record as Attics. Since then they have continued to sporadically release music into the digital ether with little pomp and even less circumstance. Drawing inspiration from Brazilian Tropicalia, British Invasion, NYC art rock, and early electronic music, Attics makes music you can sing along to if you don’t mind odd lyrics and the occasional glockenspiel.

We make an entirely impromptu, glimmering flurry of sounds. There is twinkling and melting and crackling and skittering and scraping.

There are thunderous synth drones and whale-like bellows, lonely flute chiffs, and skeletal found-sound beats. There are ugly soundscapes, armies of marching stylophones and dying children's toys fighting for battery power. 

All of these songs were improvised and recorded live. Sometimes the result is bizzare and otherworldly. Sometimes nothing but disastrous dreck spills from us. Other times the sounds are nothing short of overwhelming and gorgeous. 

Come see us play live and watch us construct little, impressionistic, ballads from scratch, and then tear them apart when we get bored.
