attic lights

La Blogotheque recently posted this acoustic version of Atlas Sound’s “Attic Lights”. I’ve always been a fan of their Take Away Shows, but this video has particularly captured my attention.

fun fun fun fest//day #2

FFFF

A line-up that was more intriguing to me than the first day was totally dampened by the rain. all. day. long. Started things off with the great Atlas Sound and Ally was one of the few that they actually allowed on stage for photo ops. Not only were her ones of Bradford most excellent, but she was able to do another fine job of capturing each artist at their best. Sans rain, this is one of the better times I’ve had at a music festival. Hands down.

weekly mixtape//hold yr breath

oldmanpool copy

There’s something about plunging into a crisp swimming pool that makes me feel completely isolated from the masses in my surroundings. The images in my chlorine filled eyes are familiar yet not completely defined, a mash up of chatter (which I’m, most likely, not interested in) is almost completely filtered out through the water, and I’m completely floating in a medium where the normal rules of gravity don’t apply. More themed than most of my mixtapes, these tracks (which also happen to be new/ish) are nearly as muffled as the bros in the pool crowd. And Robin, I gots that jj for ya.

FINALLY: No, this isn’t the podcast, yet, but I’ve included a link to download this weeks mixtape in its entirety. Enjoy!

atlas sound//time warp

atlas-sound-group

I was so busy trying to get the website looking “perfect” yesterday that I looked over this new Bradford Cox tune yesterday. Atlas Sound actually has a very current blog to keep music addicts up to date and they released some new tracks yesterday. Don’t want to forget to mention Cox’s other endeavor earlier this week via Deerhunter (mp3 single “Rainwater Cassette Exchange”/7″ ep will be available June 8 on Kranky). These new tunes from Atlas Sound can actually be downloaded for free on their blog.

Deerhunter – Rainwater Cassette Exchange

Atlas Sound – Time Warp

Atlas Sound – Springtime Instrumental
