Attics

Attics is the long-running indie-rock recording project of songwriter Meir Hamilton. Formed in 2006 with his brother Natan Hamilton, the band took shape recording early demos in the attic studio of Mobius Band drummer Noam Schatz — an experience that inspired the band’s name and early lo-fi aesthetic. After several years performing around New York City with a live group, Attics gradually evolved into a more studio-focused project built around cinematic arrangements, singable melodies, and wry lyricism. Their 2013 debut EP Time Is Falling — featuring Schatz on drums alongside Joshua Schapiro (bass) and Jeremy Steckel (guitar/background vocals) — began a steady run of independent releases. Their latest album, Escape from Boredom Island, continues that evolution, exploring themes of survival, memory, and reinvention.
