  • Buy the Full Digital Album

  • Limited Edition White Cassette USB Drive
    USB Flash Drive

    The crowning achievement of the minds behind Atlas & Oracle.

    **IMPORTANT NOTE**: For some reason it's not letting me give a digital copy of Jubilee away with this purchase, so just reach out over Bandcamp or Twitter and we'll get you two free codes for the trouble :)

    4GB packed full of extras- an unreleased music video, additional orderings, instrumentals & karaokes, and a 30 minute set of a live performance of instrumental music that lies between jazz, classical, and pop.

    The USB is shaped like a cassette. Comes in a plastic case with a fully printed j-flap. Exclusive liner notes are scattered throughout the folders, giving greater insight into the USB's features.

    This is the only item in our store that was bulk purchased, so IT WILL COME WITH EXTRAS!! We got some beautiful stickers and buttons printed to send out with these.

    Only 50 available, and when they're gone, they're gone! Even if we produce another run, it will NEVER AGAIN be available in this white color. Get a piece of A&O history!!     ... more

  • T-Shirt/Shirt

    Cover Art Collection

    This shirt features the beautiful 'Starry Day' cover art from Jubilee, our first full-length album. Lightweight and breathable. A bit nicer than Gildan so it's a couple bucks more. Available in 3 great colors- which one do you like the best?

    SPECIAL NOTE, PLEASE READ BEFORE PURCHASING:

    1. To choose your color (yellow, forest, or white), please choose "Include a message to Atlas & Oracle" while adding the item to your cart.
    2. Starting with 2XL, the shirts start getting $2 more expensive to produce per upsize. If you're able, consider chipping in a couple extra dollars!
    3. XS and 5XL are NOT available in Forest or Yellow. Apologies, this is a restraint of the printing company.

    This product is made especially for you as soon as you place an order, which is why it takes us a bit longer to deliver it to you. Making products on demand instead of in bulk helps reduce overproduction, so thank you for making thoughtful purchasing decisions!

    This also means that shirts are coming out of production facilities in multiple global locations. This also means that shirts are coming out of production facilities in multiple global locations. If you're seeing the Worldwide shipping price of $7.50, please reach out and we will add your country right away- it will likely result in cheaper shipping.     ... more

about

Follow us on Twitter and Instagram @astralocale

Time Is Running Out is a message, a warning, and a directive. The message: wake up. The warning: it's almost too late. The directive: do something about it while you still can.

It's as much an outward observation as it is an inward reflection. The society we're all raised in does its best to get you to destroy yourself and others in pursuit of "success".

Those who are successful are allowed to look down on those who are not, the kind of thing it's hard to imagine caring about as a child. When did we grow into that? And why?

Helping the less fortunate is seen as a good thing. But why are the less fortunate allowed to suffer needlessly by default? This is one of the questions you're not allowed to ask.

It's hard to imagine a world where we don't care about success, as it's so different from our current societal priorities, and those in power would like very much for you to give up the idea of ever making any concrete steps in that direction.

They tell us it's not possible, and make us feel bad for questioning in the first place- then we pass that hurt on to others, and ridicule anyone who wants to make a positive change. Our system reduces us to crabs in a bucket, always clawing each other down instead of working together to escape.

But the thing about crabs is that they don't naturally occur in buckets. This isn't natural. This isn't normal. And together, we can overcome it.

lyrics

Feels like we've been here before
But I'm distracted by
Everything that's new about it
Everything that's new about it
On and on they say this is the way
But I've got thoughts about it
Every time we talk about it
Every time we talk about it

And I can't relax
Everything's moving too fast
Do everything right to stem the risk of
Slipping through the cracks
And I can't relate
To the people filled with hate
But I feel like I can't get out

A million mile view
No matter what, somebody will lose
And what I'm saying is that
They want that someone to be you
So bring the fire burn some tires and let's put up a fight
Because we're running out of time

And what's killing me
Is the fact that I could see
Clearer as a child
The way that things should have turned out to be
And I asked about
All the people left without
And was told that I should grow up

Feels like we've been here before
But I struggle to remember
And I struggle to imagine
What we'd do after the fall
Feels like we've been here before
It's just hard to come to terms with
The reasons why (God we're backed up against the wall)
We're even here at all
Why are we here at all
Why are we here at all

And what's killing me
Is the fact that I could see
Clearer as a child
The way that things should have turned out to be
Can we free our minds
Of their influence with time
Cause time is running out
Cause time is running out
Cause time is running out
Cause time is running out
