The family sign involves and engages the listener like never before on atmosphere's most personal and intimate album yet. It's an extensive journey through familial relationships both biological and those built on friendship and loyalty. Slug's signature voice weaves in and out of ant's asr-born production, Nate Collis' bluesy guitar riffs and the sound of Erick Anderson's unmistakable keys giving the family sign a fresh, unique edge without sacrificing atmosphere's signature sound.
