NOISE POP Preview: Atlas Sound @ The Great American Music Hall, 2/26

The NOISE POP 2010 avalanche continues to pour down the mountain.

We try to stay to afloat.

When?: Thursday, February 26th

Where?: The best damn venue in the city, The Great American Music Hall.

What?: Atlas Sound, Geographer, Magic Wands, Nice Nice - a pretty eclectic line-up of electro-psych and genre-blending.

Why?: I’ve been obsessing over the Virtual 7″ series Atlas Sound has been sporadically releasing for, well, a while now.  I’d caught Bradford Cox and Company at a SXSW day party in some enormous park, and amongst the sunshine and the heat, it just, well, fell flat.  But after burning an enormous hole through my digital copy of Atlas Sound’s cover of The Five Discs’ “Doctor”, I’m literally quivering a bit with excitement.

What Else?: If you’re not in for a not of throbbing noise, I’d suggest the freak-pop of Nurses at the Swedish American Music Hall or dueling duo The Ferocious Few at Cafe Du Nord.

Listen Up!

The Daily Choice: Atlas Sound - Doctor (Five Discs Cover)

I’m still vacillating on my Atlas Sound/Deerhunter thoughts.  Still trying to really grasp (after a near prolific couple of years of production) Bradford Cox’s objective with these two interconnected musical experiments.  I’m not always a fan, but always find myself curious about what Mr. Cox is going to produce next.

Such as this cover track “Doctor” off one of his always entertaining Virtual 7″.  It embraces the 60s pop that Atlas Sound occasionally strays in to more fully and what emerges from this awkward hug is genuinely head-nodder of a track.  A sort of gritty ode to rafter-packed high school dances.  It’s a beaut of a song, a real contender for my possible “Best Of…” list(s).
