Inspiration behind "Stockholm" for artists to consider:
- Competing against the odds
- The triumph of the 'underdog'
- The song was inspired by the thought of a human running up stairs trying to escape flood water, finding different challenges with every new floor he/she reaches
- Little successes that lead to big successes
- "I had gone partly to write and partly to assess the state of a long distance relationship I was in. I really felt like I was drowning emotionally and needed to let myself breathe.” - Keith Jeffery
about atlas genius
The members of Adelaide, Australia’s Atlas Genius do things a little differently…They set about building a studio where they could write and record music for their newly formed band three years before they even played their first live show as Atlas Genius. “We really got down and dirty with dry walling and literally laying the floorboards, and at the same time we were taking a couple of days a week to focus on writing songs,” recalls Keith Jeffery, Atlas Genius’s vocalist/guitarist. “We had a lot of song ideas and it was important to us to have our own studio where we could experiment and hone in on our sound,” adds brother and drummer, Michael Jeffery. Once the studio was complete, the first song that Atlas Genius finished was a song called “Trojans,” which they wrote, recorded and produced in collaboration with their friend, keyboardist Darren Sell.
