AtticOmatic have today released their new single titled ‘Burrow’ from their upcoming EP ‘Between Two’ dropping on March 20th. Right from the first bar, ‘Burrow’ casts a quiet spell — an atmospheric wash of warm pads and gentle guitar arpeggios that crests like a breath held too long. Vocal lines drift in with an intimate softness, like whispered confessions in a crowded room, and the production sits nestled between dreamy cocoon and shimmering clarity. AtticOmatic’s approach here isn’t about hooks that hit at first listen — it’s about texture and mood, how a simple chord progression can feel both fragile and expansive at once.
What makes ‘Burrow’ stand out from surplus bedroom pop is how it balances precision with warmth. The layered synths hover just behind the beat, creating a sense of slow-motion momentum, while flickers of reverb make every vocal phrase feel suspended in space. There’s a bittersweet pull to the lyrics — a longing without despair, an ache without surrender — that gives the track emotional gravity without crushing its airy charm.
By the time the last note lingers off, ‘Burrow’ has already replayed itself in your head — that’s the hallmark of music that’s less about instant impact and more about lasting resonance. It’s quiet confidence, wrapped in melody, and exactly the kind of hidden gem worth finding on repeat.
Floating midway between indie dream-pop and hazy electronica, ‘Burrow’ is an immersive slow-burner that feels like a secret sunrise in a forgotten city.
About ‘Burrow’
Whomping, sullen, and freckled with a touch-tight lo-fi grit, ‘Burrow’ is a paean to the safety of seclusion, of surrendering to introspection, escaping from the world and into a hide-out of one’s own making. Soaked in the language of grungey shoegaze and slowcore, it also marks the band’s heaviest cut to-date.
Forming in a houseshare in Brighton, and centred around the relationship between core songwriting duo of Kamran Kaur and Lorcan Forder (with members of Flip Top Head in their line-up too), AtticOmatic’s enigmatic sound has consistently defied easy catch-all definitions. Carried by sincere, confessional themes of grief, aging or self-fulfilment, and funnelled through the experience of adult diagnoses of Autism and ADHD, each song drifts indiscriminately between post-rock, dream-pop, indie and jazz, through winding structures and unexpected leftfield turns.
It’s this careful balance that ushered in a debut EP Fold the World last spring, winning fans at BBC Radio 6Music’s New Music Fix, Radio X and KEXP, press acclaim from The Line of Best Fit, Notion, Far Out, DIY, Rough Trade and Hard of Hearing, plus So Young, DORK and Wonderland following an intimate London show for Estrella Galicia.
On the upcoming EP Between Two, AtticOmatic’s scope becomes expanded, yet more refined. Taking its name from a direct translation of the Tibetan word ‘Bardo’ – which delineates the transitional space between death and rebirth – the 4-song set similarly delivers a music caught between the stars and the earth; between luxuriant textures, blushing catharsis, and the scars and bruises of everyday living taking its toll.
News of the release also heralds a series of gigs for the band across the coming months, including tour dates with The Orielles across South West England, March headline Shows, and a Dot to Dot festival slot in May. It continues a live run that includes shows with Man/Woman/Chainsaw, Legss, Whitelands, highschool, Hank and Nabihah Iqbal (who personally invited the band to support her in London), plus performances at Brighton Psych Fest and Wild Paths.
Speaking more about the latest single, Kamran Says “‘Burrow’ is about wanting to burrow into the ground and hide until the world feels safe again. Last year jaded me and that’s exactly how the people destroying the world want us to feel. So I try not to be pessimistic, but I guess I let myself be just for this one song.”
