----------
The world is a vastly different place than it was just a few years ago, and Atmosphereās seventh album, Mi Vida Local, reflects the ways in which the world, and Atmosphereās place in it, has changed. The idyllic domesticity of their past few records has morphed into anxiety over keeping loved ones safe during turbulent times. Instead of bragging about backstage misadventures itās about grappling with mortality. The easygoing collaboration between Ant and Slug has started to feel more like the life-or-death intimacy of two men trapped together on a lifeboat.
At times itās a heavy album (āI might be the last generation of grandparents,ā goes a key line from āVirgoā), but itās far from grim. There are jokes being cracked, joints getting smoked, a little trash talking here and thereā after all, itās still a rap record.
And Atmosphereās never sounded better.
As the name implies, Mi Vida Local is intensely focused on the place it was createdā the southside of Minneapolisā where Slug and Ant work tirelessly in their ābeautiful basementsā, refining their sound without interruption, save for a handful of friends from the Minneapolis hip-hop community who showed up to contribute. A year of one-on-one collaboration resulting in an album that matches complex subject matter with equally deep beatsā ones that show a clear lineage back to the psychedelic funk landmarks from an earlier era where America was going through a post-utopian hangover, and prove that there wonāt ever be a time where boom-bap beats donāt sound perfectly of the moment.
Mi Vida Local might be the best album Atmosphereās ever made. Itās definitely the one they needed to make right now, and one listeners need to hear just as urgently. If itās sometimes an album about how the fight to find happiness never really endsā even after you get the house and the kids and the artistic freedom to make dad-rap recordsā itās also about discovering that thereās happiness to be found just in fighting.
