If there was ever a hint of what’s to come, the free mix tape, Strictly Leakage, that Minneapolis-based hip-hop duo Atmosphere dropped over the holidays was it. Simply called a “party album” by Slug (MC) and Ant (Producer), they released it to cure the winter doldrums and that it did.
But it’s probably nothing compared to what their sixth studio album, When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold, will sound like.
The initial pressing of When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold will be packaged as a 40-page hard-cover black-fabric book with gold embossing. The book contains lyrics, album credits and an illustrated children's story written by Slug. This limited package will also include a bonus DVD with over an hour of live footage and extras from the final shows of the Everybody Loves A Clown tour shot at First Avenue nightclub in Minneapolis, with Dolby 5.1 surround audio.
