about

Surprise!

This completes our year's releases. And what a year it's been.

7 synth-ska covers.
7 ska-punk originals.
7 hybrid collabs.

"Project 777" was originally conceived of almost a year ago. It was meant as a sort of spell to bring good luck. With recent events, I sure hope it works.

Thanks to everyone who helped make this happen. My parents, who listen to every release. My partner, who's drawn all the artwork up to this point. The members of A&O, who had a very busy year despite 0 live performances. All the friends I've made online who have encouraged us to keep experimenting, and all the new friends I've yet to meet.

Thanks for listening to this ska-shaped collective. We're just a strange little artifact of a time where the world was still figuring itself out, and so were we. If that's you too, then welcome- you've found your people.

Love always,
Atlas

Afterglow
by Flying Raccoon Suit

There are parts to dance to, there are parts to headbang to, and sometimes you'll want to do both in the same song. Each song is its own sonic world. Ska, but also punk, metal, and indie. Atlas & Oracle

BOTHERED / UNBOTHERED
by JER

This album takes a traditionally rooted but definitively modern approach to ska with an anti-racist message that's refreshingly political. One of the best debuts in ska, and there's stiff competition. Atlas & Oracle

My Checkered Future
by Eichlers

Each track introduces brand new sounds to ska. This album makes me excited to be alive for this era of ska music, and even more excited for the checkered future. Atlas & Oracle

One of the best ska albums of the year. Really captured the greatness of their live music, and every track is good. Amazing basslines throughout, one of the best horn sections in any band, and beautiful vocals. Unique songwriting that sets is apart from the crowd. This album has everything gimpleg
