Atlas Sound - Logos

The proper mastered version has leaked in good quality

i hope at least some of the tracks meet the level of "walkabout." panda bear is amazing

Cool. I've been listening to, and digging the "Springtime Instrumental" all summer.

thanks for the update, gonna check this out now

What an immensely amazing album. Did anyone else get some Sgt. Pepper vibes from Shelia? Obviously he doesn't really sound like the Beatles, but I can't help but feel some connection. This album overall though doesn't really sound like anything he's done before, or anything thats really been done before. I have been a believer in Bradford Cox/Deerhunter, since I first heard Cryptograms some time back, and I am even more so a believer after i have heard both Deerhunter's guitarist Lockett Pundt solo album "Lotus Plaza" (2009) and now this.

Does anyone else not think the output of Deerhunter hasn't been quality release after quality release?

Cyrpotgrams (2007)

Fluorescent Grey (2007)

Let the Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel (2008)

Microcastle / Weird Era Cont. (2008)

Lotus Plaza (2009)

Rainwater Cassette Exchance (2009)

Logos (2009)

i listened to Deerhunter and did not know what the fuss is about. And I love Kranky! But, like Grouper, I don't get it.

Start with the Fluorescent Grey EP... listen to that a few times in the next few days... if you don't like them still... then I think they just aren't your style.

Logos is allright , not as great as Let the blind... in my opinion

I still think that Cryptograms > rest of Deerhunter and Atlas Sound discography.

I was more impressed with Logos immediately then Let the Blind... and like with all their releases so far except maybe "Microcastle" I've grown to like them more with more listens.

this is definitely indie rock album of the year for me.

yay!

is there any reason for this ridiculous cover art?

I normally don't like indie type music like this at all, but there was a few tracks I enjoyed. (didn't get to listen to the whole thing yet. )

Where's the cover art? Looking forward to this, the original leak was pretty impressive so I'll be glad to finally buy the proper version.

here is the artwork

ummm yeah

cover art sucks for this...

So that's actually the cover? The digital art for his free blog tracks is usually better than that. Ah well, preordered anyway. Rough Trade are giving away an exclusive bonus CD.

holy shit this is great

i've listened to sheila about twenty times today

funny how people are about deerhunter...i really dislike cryptograms and flourescent grey but microcastle is a great album, and that last ep was really good. i think i prefer his pop songs over the longer ambient/noise stuff. the first atlas sound album was ok, but again, lots of stuff that went nowhere. this one is far more focused. the track with the girl from stereolab is impressive.

I think Cryptograms is their best album by far. Microcastle was okay, but Weird Era Cont. was far better overall. This Atlas Sound is different then Let the Blind Lead.. can't say if its actually really better or worse. But I think this one will hold up better in time maybe.

And Flourescent grey is perhaps their best release in my opinion. So maybe we just don't agree stylistically, but as an avid Deerhunter fan, I really think you should give Crypto/Grey Ep another chance if you haven't really.

Anyone seen this band live? I'm thinking of seeing them tomorrow.

I'd like to. I wouldn't pass up the chance myself.

He's got such a hot bod though.

I haven't really been into indie music for a while but I liked the first few tracks from this album. I'm gonna give it some spins.

cryptograms and fluorescent adolescent EP are amazing - tbh every Deerhunter album is fantasic.. also Bradford Cox's solo albums are great too.

check out Lotus Plaza, Deerhunter's guitarists solo

**give cryptograms more time, seriously.. because it beats microcastle hands down*
