Paul O’Rely, known by his moniker Pjos, is a Poland-based independent dreampop artist with Brazilian roots. He had been shaped into a profound lover of music since early childhood by his father who was himself a professional singer. His project, Pjos draws inspiration from dreampop and post-rock acts such as Slowdive, Beach House, and Sigur Ros. The hallmark of his music is a dreamlike quality with a rich colors and textures that blend together to create a deeply evocative soundscape. His music is celebrated for its melancholic and cinematic charm.

“Pjos’ latest track, “Atlas” moves majestically from struggle to liberation; a worldly phenomenon expressed in the most other-worldly musicality!”

Pjos’ recent release, “Atlas” is his second single. It is an original brainchild of the artist which delves into the themes of childhood trauma and escapism. Drawing parallels with the Greek mythological Atlas, this track traces the story of a protagonist who uses atlas to escape from a storm. The faintly sung lyrics project the weight of enduring problems and a longing for a better future permeates the song. The almost-hypnotizing outro with astronaut dialogues and ethereal strings, symbolizes resolution and hope. “Atlas” is truly a lush, cinematic soundscape, one that immerses you completely and cosmically!

If you like listening to songs that entrance all your senses, this song is the right pick for you!
