Letterman, Leno, Lollapolooza. Triple check.  You don’t need us to tell you that Atlas Genius is verging on widespread, household recognition.  These Aussies crank out electro-laced pop jams that surge with emotional crescendos and explode with bursting beats.  Danceable and heartfelt at times, these boys from Adelaide make incredibly accessible music for just about any kind of listener.  Hell, your Dad would probably even dig a track or two (Father’s Day gift?) Look no further than their debut, When It Was Now (Warner Bros.), the for evidence. Better yet, catch them on a host of summer dates across the U.S. It’s sure to be a sweaty affair both on and offstage when the house lights come up.
