ATMA is the Australian extract from the intercontinental duo Kool Thing, namely Jane Arnison, who in the latter formation has already appeared at Torstraßen Festival in 2012. If you were there, you will remember. With her solo project she achieves to decelerate the pressure and the drive inherent to Kool Thing without loosing any of its emotional urgency. ATMA is Jane Arnison in a painful moment. Her first EP tells of love, loss and silver linings –which record doesn’t one might ask– but this one leaves no doubt about the gravity and the impact of her undergoings. „After all this shit has gone down“ Jane Arnison lets out what can’t stay inside of her, backed by bass, guitar and drums, insistently tying in with the sweeter moments of Courtney Love’s Hole or the bitter moments of Chan Marshall’s Cat Power. Qualified hymns for the broken-hearted.
