THE ATLAS MOTH TO RELEASE COVERS EP, TOUR WITH LEGIT BANDS

Devotees of the 'cake, you should already have plans to see Chicago bros The Atlas Moth this fall. They'll be blazing their van with Nachtmystium, Zoroaster, and Dark Castle, the latter two of which our own Andrew Wilhelm reviewed a while back. Pretty sweet deal, right?

Well, there's yet another reason not to miss this jamboree. The Atlas Moth will be releasing a digital covers EP, for which the download cards will be available to purchase exclusively on this tour. Entitled The One Amongst the Weed Fields, the quintet recorded their takes on The Mamas & The Papas' "California Dreamin'," Faliure's "Golden," Pink Floyd's "Fearless" and The Doors' "Five to One." You can preview "Golden" here. "Fearless" will be interesting to hear - it's a great, under-appreciated Floyd tune. No word yet if there will ever be a physical release, but the cover, pictured above, is worthy of a larger canvas.
