  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    12" (180g). Complete with the band's lyrics and album artwork by designer Mark Battle. ATC launches their newest album “DASH” on vinyl. Recording throughout the pandemic they met several delays and hardships, but the band continued collaborating, remotely at times, to bring the next chapter of ATC to its debut. On the new album you will hear the band together in Dimension Sound Studios with Boston producer/engineer Dan Cardinal (Darlingside, Henry Jamison, Josh Ritter, Ballroom Thieves) along with longtime ATC collaborators Seth Kasper and Adrian Aiello. The ambition was not to match up with past ATC albums, or to meet some expectation, in fact, ATC’s formulas were often set aside in an effort to search from within each member. However, if you have loved anything by ATC, the stories, charm, nostalgia, hooks, DASH will pull you in from the opening line “It was chapter one...”, and take you on a beautiful ride.

    Praise for DASH, now available here on Vinyl!

    “earnest and confessional … a lively and eminently catchy marriage... organic singer/songwriter influences… electro pop pulse" -Under The Radar

    "A deeper maturity” -American Songwriter

    "Their new album, Dash, is a refreshing melodic venture that offers depth with discerned intent rather than a pointlessly dissonant middle-eight." - Far Out Magazine

    "an earnest quality to Munro’s songwriting and vocal delivery that oozes authenticity" - Performer Mag

    "Laying down a grooving indie pop backdrop full of rhythmic brass arrangement with Dave Munro spinning melodic vocal leads, “20” sees a celebrated band at the top of their game." - Plastic Magazine

    “20” is a pop rock track that hits hard in a nostalgic and introspective way." - Hot Lunch Music

    "It’s not often that one gets to hear music from a band that seems about to hit the big times. But if Air Traffic Controller’s latest track “20” — and their 400,000 monthly listeners — is any indication, then this genre-defying group seems poised to become a household name very soon." - Glasse Factory

    "Air Traffic Controller have served up a slice of pure genius with “20.”" - Up To Hear Music

    "Smart and sharp, upbeat and spry, the rising Boston band’s sophisticated songcraft helps their excellent fifth LP land in a sweet spot between indie-pop, rock and folk." - Tinnitist

    “20” is a breezy pop anthem, rooted in Munro’s unerring knack for catchy hooks and lived-in story-based lyricism paired with a lush arrangement featuring reverb-drenched guitar, funky horns and a dance floor friendly groove." - Joy of Violent Movement

    "I was gobsmacked the first moment I heard ATC years ago, and am even more enthralled by them and what they're capable of doing with their sound." - Music Box Pete

    While so much has changed, much has stayed the same when it comes to the quality of music and the creativity pouring out. (“20” is) a beautifully introspective reflection on the past. And while it keeps a storytelling structure that feels recognizably ATC, its catchy sound turns heads.-Nora Onanian, WERS

lyrics

Anybody got a light?
The day to day the song remains the same
We hope we pray we get back to the way it was
We never really had a chance to say goodbye
Just letting go and trying to hold your
head up high

Anybody got a light?
Do me a favor would you shine it over here
Like animals we’re scared of all that’s changing
You’ll see this face when everything is
safe again

There’s nothing underneath you where
you stand
You’re upsidedown and dropping all the plans you made
The wind has cleared a path but left you colder
There’s something beautiful in starting over right?

Anybody got a light?
Do me a favor would you shine it this way
I’m trying to find a reason to believe again
Has anybody seen that part of me out there?

They promised it won’t hurt a bit
We’ll bounce back like we do
We’re all backflipping forward toward
the new

They say your day to day’s about to change
You hoped, you prayed we’d get back to the way it was
By now somehow you found a way to say goodbye
Just letting go and trying to hold that head up high

Anybody got a light?
Do me a favor would you shine it this way
Anybody got a light?
Do me a favor would you shine it over here
Like animals we’re scared of all that’s changing
You’ll see this face when everything is safe again
I’m trying find a reason to believe
Has anybody see that part of me?
Anybody got a light?
