Atlas Sound "Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel"

As you may have read, I was pretty sick last week and one of my only comforts (other than hot tea) was the new Atlas Sound album "Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel". You all know of my deep admiration for the music of Deerhunter (Atlas Sound is the brain-child of Deerhunter's Bradford Cox), and when I got a hold of this album I was more than a little excited. And what great timing too...I was confined to my bed or the couch for a week with nothing to do but listen to music. The beauty of this record was nothing short of a healing force for me last week...it is simply one of the most beautiful albums I've heard EVER. I tend to get really depressed when I'm sick, and to say that it wasn't so bad this time is an understatement. Do yourself a huge favor and pick this album up when it comes out on February 19th via Kranky Records. Bradford has also very generously uploaded almost 70 non-album Atlas Sound/Deerhunter songs for download via the Deerhunter blog (this guy seriously prolific!!).

Atlas Sound will performing as a full band, with members Bradford Cox, Brian Foote, Adam Forkner, Stephanie Macksey, and Honey Owens starting 2/16 at The 40 Watt Club in Athens, GA. Valet and White Rainbow will be opening for most of the tour.
