Over The Atlantic are a band from Wellington, New Zealand

History

Over the Atlantic was created by Nik Brinkman (formerly of Wellington band Ejector) and Bevan Smith (aka Signer and Aspen), who came together through shared involvement in an A LOW HUM compilation; Smith mastering the record and Brinkman submitting a track under the Over the Atlantic name.

They decided to make an album together which resulted in their debut album Junica, released in 2006 on Involve Records and in the USA on "Carpark Records". It is an album that references producers such as Tchad Blake, Peter Gabriel, Kevin Shields and Brian Wilson. Nik also talks a lot about Madonna.

In 2006, they recruited bass player Jules Desmond of Letterbox Lambs and D-Super fame and drummer Constantine Karlis from HDU to complete their live ensemble.

In October 2006 Nik and Bevan travelled as a two piece to North America to embark on a 22 date tour of USA and Canada with Baltimore's "Beach House" where they were described as Death Cab from Down Under' caught over the mid-Atlantic in a hot air balloon.

They are currently in the process of recording album number 2 in Wellington and hope to have it completed by July.
