*AtlassoundWhat is it about waltzes? Their trebled (1-2-3) beat gives songs a lilting, roundabout sort of feel that lends itself really well to downtempo space rock, as demonstrated here by Atlas Sound — the side project of Bradford Cox, frontman for longtime Listening Post faves Deerhunter.

Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Not Feel  has been given the bonus track treatment for its European release. Here’s one of those, Bradford Cox’s deep space waltz, "Another Bedroom."
