4AD Reveal New Version of Atlas Sound's Blind

As previously mentioned
, the European release of Let the Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel, the debut LP from Bradford Cox's Atlas Sound project, will be a bit beefier than the American version, released earlier this year on Kranky. 4AD's version comes with a bonus disc of new material.

The half-dozen-item tracklist includes the recently Forkcasted "Another Bedroom", and the new label-appropriate cover art (from longtime 4AD-affiliated graphic designers v23) is what you're looking at up there.

Fittingly, the disc arrives amidst a flurry of live European activity from both Atlas Sound and the post-hiatus, Microcastle-crafting Deerhunter. All parties involved will head over the pond in May for dates, with Atlas Sound picking up a slew of gigs opening for Animal Collective. Deerhunter have a few scattered gigs to their credit as well, including their set at next month's ATP vs. Pitchfork festival.
