THE ATLAS MOTH - Digital Covers EP Announced, New Track Posted; Fall Tour Nears
August 24, 2010, 14 years ago
Candlelight Records will release a special digital-only covers EP from Chicago's THE ATLAS MOTH on September 28th. Titled The One Amongst the Weed Fields, it contains very special renditions of 'California Dreamin’' (THE MAMAS & THE PAPAS), 'Fearless' (PINK FLOYD), 'Golden' (FAILURE), and 'Five to One' (THE DOORS).
Guitarist/vocalist Stavros’ explains, "we have been thinking about doing a covers EP for a while. Thirteen-hour drives with only a radio to entertain you eventually takes a toll. But every once in a while we’d hear a song pop up that would strike us as something we all wanted to make into a ‘Moth song. These are the few we came up with from a terribly long list, and we are pretty proud of the outcome. It was a great way to have some fun, produce something new, and do a little pre-production for our new album which we hope to record later this year."
A track from the EP, 'Golden' by Failure, can be heard at this location.
A limited number of download cards will be available for purchase during the band's upcoming tour with friends NACHTMYSTIUM, ZOROASTER, and DARK CASTLE, a special treat for fans planning to come out to the show. The tour is set to kick off September 9th and will make twenty stops before ending in Chicago on October 2nd. The band will perform selections from their current album, A Glorified Piece of Blue Sky.
