New Atlas Sound - "Doctor" & "The Screens"

Bradford Cox opens Virtual 7" no. 8 with a rousing cover of the vintage 'late 50s/early '60s pre-Now Sound Brooklyn doo-wop group the Five Discs' "Doctor."

Stereogum Spends The Weekend At ATP NY

ATP was the year's finest festival. We've already covered that. But the band performances are only half the (All Tomorrow's) party.

Flaming Lips & Deerhunter Lock Horns Backstage (Plus Pictures From The Lips' Naked Bicyclist Video Set)

ATP NY 2009: Wayne's World

Our second year at Kutsher's was rainier than the first, but that didn't matter so much to us or, seemingly, the other attendees: If anything, this year felt more celebratory (and debauched) than 2008. You wouldn't be faulted for noting... CONTINUE READING ATP NY 2009: WAYNE'S WORLD»

New Atlas Sound - "Attic Lights"

"Walkabout" isn't the best track on Atlas Sound's second proper full-length Logos, but it is the song that features a member of Animal Collective, which is likely why it got out there first. Truth is, it's kind of album's curve... CONTINUE READING NEW ATLAS SOUND - "ATTIC LIGHTS"»

New Atlas Sound - "Solo, Or 'The Square'"

The sixth installment of Bradford Cox's virtual 7" series dropped early this morning. The hypnotic plinky keyboard part on "Solo, Or 'The Square'" recalls a Caribbean steel band, and Bradford's heavily reverbed vocals have an appropriately laid back vibe. There...

It looked like Bradford Cox already had Halloween covered with the creaky Lilys-on-Kinks-on-Shadow Ring of "Coffin Trick," but the always prolific trick-or-treater just posted two new so-called "Halloween Dances" at the Deerhunter blog, "Danse Infernale," or the infernal dance, and...
