Mi Vida Local

Mi Vida Local

Itâ€™s a different place than it was two years ago, when Atmosphere released their last record, Fishing Blues. Their seventh album, Mi Vida Local, reflects the ways in which the worldâ€“and their place in itâ€“has changed. The idyllic domesticity of the past few records has morphed into anxiety over keeping loved ones safe during turbulent times. 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, Mi Vida Local is a heavy album, (â€œI might be the last generation of grandparents,â€ goes a key line from â€œVirgoâ€), but itâ€™s far from grim. As the name implies, Mi Vida Local is intensely focused on the place it was createdâ€“the southside of Minneapolisâ€“where Slug and Ant work tirelessly in their â€œbeautiful basementsâ€, refining their sound without interruption, save for a handful of Minneapolis friends that showed up to contribute. The album pairs complex subject matter with equally deep beatsâ€“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 wonâ€™t ever be a time where boom-bap beats donâ€™t sound perfectly of the moment. Mi Vida Local might be the best album Atmosphereâ€™s ever made. Itâ€™s definitely the one they needed to make right now, and one listeners need to hear just as urgently. If itâ€™s sometimes an album about how the fight to find happiness never really endsâ€“even after you get the house and the kids and the artistic freedom to make dad-rap recordsâ€“itâ€™s also about discovering that thereâ€™s happiness to be found just in fighting.
