Out Here With You is the Juno-nominated second studio album by Canadian producer Jeff Hartford, otherwise known as ATTLAS. It was released November 6, 2020 under mau5trap records.
Background
Many songs on the album were composed during Canada's 2020 lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic as well as other difficult times for Harford, such as after an injury in 2019.[1] However, he described the songs as small moments of positivity in a tumultuous time and "a chance to catch my breath".[2] Examples of positive moments that inspired the tracks include early morning drives, watching storm clouds, running from sudden rain showers, and jogging along the Martin Goodman Trail.[1] Unique visualizers for each of the songs were provided by the artist Cyclo, and small sound clips of spoken word from public domain films were included on some tracks.[3]
A continuous mix version of the album was released on YouTube in December 2020 with additional visuals provided again by Cyclo as well as new voice samples from various sources. The quotes were deliberately selected to convey feelings of vulnerability and surrender, and the mix is very similar to installments of Hartford's 'Storyline' series.[4]
Critical reception
Out Here With You was largely praised for maintaining a calm positivity and hope "in times needed the most".
