Atlas Sound to play Whelans Nov 21st

Foggy Notions have just announced that Atlas Sound will be playing Whelans on November 21st with support from Hulk.

The last time I saw Bradford Cox play Whelans with Deerhunter was a bit weird. The setlist and performance was great, much better than their previous Andrews Lane show. What was weird eh? Just Bradfords between song banter, he seemed to be tripping balls. “Mellow yellow… I feel like I’m floating down a waterfall of pink candy floss” or something to that effect was proclaimed from the stage at one point. Then at another point Bradford seemed to get pretty irate when the audience wouldn’t describe their bedroom walls to him. It was a sunday gig, I wouldn’t have expected much in terms of crowd participation. Still a brilliant gig all in all.

I’m looking forward to hearing material from his new album ‘Logos’ live. I haven’t got the album yet but I have heard two or three songs from it. The title track and the track with Laetitia Sadier, Quick Canal are both perfect specimens of lush laid back indie. Oh and his collaboration with Panda Bear on Walkabout ain’t half bad either. You can download Walkabout over at the 4AD website.

Tickets for the Whelans gig are €13.50 plus booking fee from WAV Box-Office, Tickets.ie, City Discs, Road records, Sound Cellar, and Ticketmaster outlets nationwide. Logos is out on 4AD / Kranky now.
