Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel
words by Sam Walton
Atlas Sound is actually one bloke, Bradford Cox, in his bedroom, making washy, lo-fi electronica. Think you’ve heard it all before? Actually, you probably have: scratchy samples of kids telling ghost stories? Check. Slowly rumbling walls of shoegaze guitars? Yup. Breathy singing about nothing in particular? It’s all here. But what ‘Let the Blind...’ lacks in originality it makes up for in atmosphere and musicianship, and its running time is artfully navigated. No Boards of Canada, but a satisfying slab of sound.6/10 in stores now

Mike Relm - Spectacles

Vivian Girls - Vivian Girls

Plastic Passion - Contrived Imagery
They're saying that punk's dead, y'know? Spiritually, if not physically.
Wetdog - Enterprise Reversal
Had ‘Enterprise Reversal’ been a five track EP of a release its toneless blahs from lead shouter Rivka Gillieron would have still been a struggle to sit through.
