Mr. Kranky has had a pretty good year, hasn’t he? I’m not sure if it’s even possible for this label to release something we don’t like – and I am perfectly fine with that. Coming up next is a new album from Atlas Sound aka Bradford Cox (maybe you heard about his band Deerhunter?) and a whopping 2xLP from White Rainbow aka Adam Forkner (maybe you heard about his band White Rainbow?). The new Atlas Sound features guest appearances from hipster luminaries Noah Lennox of Animal Collective and Laetitia Sadier of Stereolab. In short: it’s awesome. And New Clouds is just as far out as you can get and still be able to show up at your day job with a straight face the next morning. Heavy. Tones. Order both at kranky.net.
