On 9 February 2013 Atlas Genius issued their debut album, When It Was Now , which peaked at No. 34 on the US Billboard 200 . Heather Phares, writing for Allmusic , described its “songwriting is so direct and intimate … [which] sets them apart from many of their contemporaries” however “[w]hen the writing doesn’t match the standard set by the strongest songs, the album lags a little”. Drum Media ‘ s Dylan Stewart felt the “sound across the 11 tracks … is incredibly diverse … where tribal drums will have feet tapping and heads bopping, and plenty of tunes that will find themselves on beer commercials next summer as the soundtrack to pretty young hipsters on rooftops”.
