Not having enough material has never been a problem for Bradford Cox. When Deerhunter released Cryptograms a few years back, they quickly followed it up, and packaged the vinyl, with Flourescent Grey. Cox bundled the first Atlas Sound album with the Another Bedroom EP. After Deerhunter’s Microcastle leaked months in advance, the band slyly released one of the best records of last year with the equally as epic Weird Era Cont. Throw in Rainwater Cassette Exchange, a dozen or so virtual 7-inches, a handful of micromixes and all sorts of other Mediafire goodies and you’ll start to ask yourself, When does Bradford Cox sleep?
Apparently the answer is, never, as Cox, whose hotly anticipated Logos will be released next Tuesday. The album will come with a bonus EP of unreleased tracks and alternative mixes of Logos tracks “Ruben,” “Kid Klimax” and “Criminals.” However, don’t assume that when you go to FYE (that’s where y’all buy CD’s, right?) that you’ll automatically score the bonus EP with Logos. Wrong. The EP will only come with orders placed with Rough Trade, so bust out your PayPal password and send those hard earned digital dollars to Rough Trade. Scoop it here.

Two is pretty much always better than one, and this is certainly the case when it comes to touring indie bands. Atlas Sound (aka Bradford Cox) and Broadcast are teaming up for a North American tour, starting October 15, dates of which are featured below. This will be Broadcast’s first live appearance in the good old U.S. of A in four long years. We expect the tour will feature performances of lots of new jams by both acts, as they both have new albums on the way: Atlas Sound’s LP Logos drops via Kranky on October 20th and Broadcast’s latest EP (title TBA) will also be available through Warp in October.
