Atmosphere announce new album 'Good Bye Make Party,' share single "Nostalgia"

Minneapolis indie rap duo Atmosphere are celebrating three decades of music with their new album Good Bye Make Party, out January 15 via Rhymesayers Entertainment. Coupled with the announcement, the duo has shared their new single "Nostalgia."

Over the last 30 years, Slug and Ant have released more than three dozen albums, EPs, and collaborative projects. Their steady output of both quality and quantity has cemented them as some of the most influential artists in underground hip-hop.

Of the new song, Slug says:

"Nostalgia is a drug that I use to kill the pain. But most of this pain is connected to events that happened back in the day. In spite of the traumas I’ve collected over the last fifty-four years, I somehow still have tendencies to romanticize the past as though life was better back then. And with the knowledge that there will be future traumas, I still carry hope that tomorrow will be beautiful."

According to a press release, the album will dive into topics such as "time, memory, aging, love, loneliness, and the strange realization that a life can be both exactly what you hoped for and nothing like what you imagined."
