Best Bet Tonight: Atlas Sound at Middle East

We’ve been so busy wrapping our heads around the new Deerhunter album, which leaked about two months ago (and is still not out till late October), we almost forgot how much we liked Let the Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel (Kranky), the gauzy debut full-length from Deerhunter frontman Bradford Cox’s solo project ATLAS SOUND, which came out way back in February. Cox returns to the Middle East, this time by himself (according to his myspace, "solo performances using electronics, vocals, and guitar”; this guy says he's toting Animal Collective's sampler) to play downstairs, 480 Mass Ave, Cambridge | doors @ 8 pm | $14 | 617.864.EAST or www.mideastclub.com.

And in the meantime, Cox just posted an even newer Deerunter demo on his blog -- this one recorded in Atlas Sound/solo mode.
