Little Atlas

Original Progressive Rock from Miami, FL

About Me

The Little Atlas style is difficult to categorize using current artists as a point of reference. The band has really carved out its own unique sound amid the current progressive rock landscape, creating compositions that range from haunting and dark, to frolicking and frenetic. Little Atlas is a work in progress - an ever-changing sound reflecting the mood and will of its creators. Their music has been described as "Music for Musicians" (Miami Herald) and as "Esoteric, yet familiar, complex yet catchy, a thoroughly unique sound and approach to song crafting" (Florida Jam Magazine)."
Little Atlas returns with their brand new, full-length CD release "Hollow." Featuring 10 tracks, "Hollow," is easily the band's most mature and accomplished work to date. All of the signature elements of the Little Atlas sound are firmly in place, along with even tighter arrangements, stronger production, and an overall more muscular approach that takes their unique sound into new and exciting places.
The songs on "Hollow" are presented as 10 distinct character studies, each told from a first-person perspective with a dynamic display of emotion, lyrical insight and soaring melodic hooks. From ethereal soundscapes to unexpected angular twists - from pastoral passages to aggressive and edgy rock, this is a new and evolved Little Atlas that is both unclassifiable and undeniable. The final mixes of "Hollow" were mastered by multiple Grammy Award-winner Joe Palmaccio (Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Jeff Buckley, Derek & The Dominoes).
"We feel that this album is both our strongest and most eclectic release to date," says Steve Katsikas (lead vocals, keyboards, saxophone). "We're very pleased to be working with 10T Records alongside a great roster of bands we enjoy and respect."
"We have known the guys in Little Atlas for years, and there's a real deep satisfaction we have in being able to be a part of this great new CD," says 10T Records president Steve Carroll. "Little Atlas was one of the bands that we originally built 10T Records around, and I know that this CD will not only be embraced by their existing fans, it will also initiate a whole new legion to their ranks."
"Hollow" " is available for immediate pre-order through the 10T Records website. All orders received between now and the official release date will ship by the end of the week prior to the official release. Additionally, selected tracks from "Hollow" are available to preview in their entirety through the 10T Records website:
