Spotlights – We Are All Atomic

The new EP, which is being released via Blues Funeral Recordings, is a four-part “doomgaze” piece that sees Spotlights stretching their compositions into grandiose, post-metal epics. The sonic shift came from a collective change in approach, trusting the freedom of improvisation and musical instinct during the writing process. To put it simply, they didn’t overthink it.
“We Are All Atomic came together a bit differently than our other records, singer and guitarist Mario Quintero says. “We approached it as an entire piece with four movements, meant to evoke a sense of awareness of our fundamental selves and the dynamic energy of existence. Even though I wrote the songs, I really tried to leave my thoughts out of the equation and almost improvise the outcome.”
He adds: “It might sound kinda dumb and new age-y, but we as humans tend to let our egos get the best of this experience we call life. Sometimes it’s nice to get out of the way and let things happen.”
