Slenderbodies and Tim Atlas create dual tones visual their new song.
Slenderbodies and Tim Atlas connect on the stellar new offering, “focus”. Showcasing the gorgeous dual tones of Slenderbodies’ Max Vehuni and Benji Cormack combining in stunning fashion with fellow LA-based artist Tim Atlas, the track cements both acts as an artist to keep an eye on in 2021. Speaking on the track, Tim Atlas states:
'Writing this song with Max & Benji was one of the first remote sessions I ever had. We were each in our own studios, but it felt like an unfamiliar creative space at the time. I think that situation forced me to be a little out of my comfort zone as a writer & this song is a result of that. So it was refreshing to write “Focus” in this environment & with two guys I really admire as artists and people’
Slenderbodies continue:
"focus was written at the beginning of quarantine. when we were catching up with tim at the start of the session, he mentioned he’d taken a bit of a break from writing recently because the state of the world had been so chaotic that it was difficult to create. we generalized that story to the concept for focus and wrote it about how when we are settling into a task, sometimes the world, friends or responsibilities can take us out of the creative space we try to keep in our heads. “

More on Slenderbodies….
slenderbodies first emerged in 2016 with ‘sotto voce,’ a mesmerizing, eight-track EP that took its name from an Italian phrase meaning to speak softly but with emphasis. Recorded remotely with guitarist Benji Cormack living in Santa Cruz and singer/guitarist Max Vehuni residing in Los Angeles (the two had met at college a few years earlier), the collection quickly caught fire on Spotify, where it racked up millions of streams without any label or radio support. The next year, the pair returned with a second EP, ‘fabulist,’ which launched their following into the stratosphere as lead single “anemone” garnered more than 30 million plays across platforms. Though the duo had never planned on performing live, they soon found themselves onstage in front of massive crowds around the world, sharing bills with the likes of Mura Masa, Passion Pit, PVRIS, and Milky Chance. In 2018 and 2019, Vehuni and Cormack released two more EPs (‘fabulist: extended’ and ‘soraya,’ respectively) earning ecstatic reviews on both sides of the pond and landing coveted spots at Austin City Limits and Lollapalooza. The bands 2019 album, ‘komorebi,’ gave us an intoxicating blend of textures and genres and garnered over 36 Million streams. Applauded by the likes of Clash, Consequence of Sound, Wonderland, Highsnobiety, Entertainment Weekly, Flaunt & more, the album showed the band’s remarkable rise from a self-released bedroom project to a touring and streaming powerhouse.
