Speaking about the release, Matt and Andy said: “It would've been unthinkable to foresee the circumstances this track would be released in when we were making it. Our frame of mind was so positive then, fresh off the back of our live tour, full of excitement for the next phase. ‘Atlas’ was our attempt at summing up some of the euphoric moments we experienced on that tour across those two years. It feels like those moments are very far away for all of us right now, but we hope this serves as some form of distraction amidst all this chaos.”

Bicep have also announced the sold out Brixton Academy shows they were set to play next month have been rescheduled to August 7 and 8.
