NORTH ATLAS have dropped their new single ‘Superego’ along with music video

One of our bands to keep an eye and ear out for this year North Atlas have just dropped their brand new single “Superego”. The song is taken from their also newly announced EP ‘The Longest Shadow Attached To The Ankle’ which is due for release on 22nd September and will be followed by the bands first ever headline dates in Glasgow, Manchester and London. The Scottish 4 piece draw upon influences such as Biffy Clyro and Nine Inch Nails to weave a beautiful sonic web of hard rock and electronica packaged up with crisp production while lyrically dealing with introspective and philosophical topics, as vocalist Leon Hunter explains: “According to Freud, the Superego acts as our moral compass, what he calls the Id describes the drives for primal behaviour, while the regular Ego works to strike a balance between those two needs. The Superego strives for a sort of moral perfection, so I suppose that means there’s usually a cost for what you want. This song is about not paying for what you want by sacrificing your own values.”

Visually the band draw on their celtic, pagan traditionalist roots which are on full display in their performance music video for the song, watch it here:
