Acclaimed Scandinavian Collective Ensemble, ATOMIC, to Embark Upon Extensive North American Tour in early 2015

ATOMIC Set to Tour North America in Support of Release of New Record “Lucidity” on March 17, 2015 via Jazzland –

Since their inception in 2000, the Norwegian ensemble, ATOMIC, has garnered widespread attention for creating a completely unique and identifiable sound altogether, one which seamlessly marries both the American and the European Free Jazz traditions.

No strangers to the touring circuit, the ATOMIC band members were on the road almost as soon as they were formed, and since 2000, they have extensively toured throughout Europe, Japan and the USA. Atomic’s newest release, Lucidity, is set for a mid-March 2015 release on Jazzland Recordings.

While many bands that work as tirelessly as Atomic are helmed by one member (who not only takes on the compositional work, but also handles administrative duties), such is not the case with this group. The five members of Atomic (bassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten, saxophonist Fredrik Ljungkvist, trumpeter Magnus Broo, pianist Håvard Wiik and drummer Hans Hulbœkmo) share all of the group tasks, with Wiik and Ljungkvist penning all of the compositions, while Håker Flaten takes care of the necessary administrative tasks.

To support the release of Lucidity, the quintet will be taking a multi-week tour of North America in early 2015.
