Awesome Song of The Week! "Criminals" by Atlas Sound

Happy New Year everybody! Here's an awesome song to end 2009 and start 2010 with.

"Criminals" is probably my favorite song from this album, but you can listen to the entire thing here, and it's all good. There's even a guest appearance from the lead singer of Stereolab.

Over the past couple weeks I've found that this song, and this whole album, makes incredible late night driving music. It's atmospheric enough to make the nighttime world interesting, but it's still got enough of a beat to be good for driving and to prevent any of the ambiance from being drowned out by road noise. It's slightly creepy, but in a cool way, similar to how empty streets at night are slightly creepy when they're illuminated by streetlights. But don't worry, Atlas Sound doesn't reach John Lithgow levels of creepiness.

So creepy...

Atlas Sound is the alias of Bradford Cox, a musician and producer who is associated with psychedelic indie band Deerhunter. His new album, Logos, came out pretty recently and it's pretty awesome.

On an unrelated note, there will be no awesome songs for the next couple weeks, as I'll be adventuring in the bogs of Ireland. If you want to hear about my adventures, check out Gaikokujin Blog.
