Atmosphere's When Life Gives You Lemons...

On April 22, Slug & Ant drop their newest creation "When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold." Personally I can't wait, I loved You Can't Imagine and the EP's in-between kept me somewhat satisfied. This being their 6th album (first since '05) puts them in the lasting category for me.

The duo has been doing a series of videos to promote the album entitled "Atmosphere's Paint it Gold (1-7)" which can be seen here. Pretty interesting Q&A with the two, and Slug's entertaining personality keeps it lively. Along with that a song off the album called "Guarantees" has a video as well (look below). Although the song has no percussion, something about it really hits me. If this is the attitude, and mood the album's going to have then life will be handing us gold, no painting required.
