Laurel Halo creates an unsettling form of calm on “Atlas”
thefader.comNext month Laurel Halo will release her new album Atlas. We have already heard the lead single "Belleville," which was released in July, and now the DJ/producer has dropped the title track. "Atlas" is an ambient track filled with dramatic flourishes, from the beautiful strings to the more abstract sense of dread that filters in throughout its near seven-minute runtime.
Check it out below. Atlas is the first Laurel Halo album since 2018's Raw Silk Uncut Wood. A year later she contributed a mix to the long-running !K7 DJ-Kicks mix series.
The album will be Halo's first release on her own imprint Awe, which shares a name with her regular NTS radio show. Halo's previous albums were released on labels including Hyperdub, Honest Jon's, and Latency.
