Atom Eyes

Combining neo-soul, funk and jazz-tinged sensibilities, Atom Eyes create a sound that perfectly encapsulates their diverse yet equally eclectic backgrounds. Front woman Lissa Chen Robertson’s stunningly soulful vocals are at the forefront, backed by award-winning jazz pianist Alan Benzie’s impressive skills, alongside guitarist Fraser Christie, drummer Scott Jamieson and bassist Tom Wilkinson completing the formidable rhythm section.

Atom Eyes first formed in 2017 when Lissa and Fraser starting writing together after a chance meeting at an Edinburgh flat party. Lissa had worked with Scott and Alan prior to this and invited them to join the project. Scott knew Tom from many a late-night Jazz Bar gig and thus, Atom Eyes was formed. The quintet have previously played festivals including Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival, Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival and Doune the Rabbit Hole. They have been supported by the likes of BBC Radio Scotland, Amazing Radio, Songwriting Magazine, Snack Magazine, Hood Magazine and many more.

Blue Into Gold is their debut album released June 2022, which has been supported by The National Lottery through Creative Scotland’s Open Fund.
