Atlas Sound may birth the Brittle Pop movement

Though Kranky has yet to release the Atlas Sound debut, Let the Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel I have been listening nonstop since receiving a promo copy. In fact I am driving everyone I know crazy. I cannot help it. The song "Recent Bedroom" is the best thing I have heard since "Hours" by TV on the Radio . So good. The album reminds me or many albums I listened to feverishly in the late 80s and early 90s, but with it's own distinct aesthetic, which I have coined as brittle pop.

Bradford Cox, the mastermind of Atlas Sound, and a member of Deerhunter , has tapped into something quite special. Cox assembled a live band that includes Brian Foote of Nudge (and Kranky Records), and Honey Owens of Valet , Adam forkner and Stephanie Macksey.

Is you miss Atlas Sound live you will kick yourself - so just go.
