BLIND ATLAS - Kodiak Bear
Hailing from Denver [Colorado USA] and disparate points around the UK, BLIND ATLAS came together in the bohemian suburbs of south Manchester; united by a shared preoccupation with drinking, failed relationships and the Flying Burrito Brothers. Led by singer/guitarist Ross Thompson, BLIND ATLAS concoct a new take on American alternative country and classic British rock ‘n’ roll; taking inspiration from The Rolling Stones to Townes Van Zandt right through to artists such as Calexico and Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy.
Familiar faces on the Manchester circuit, BLIND ATLAS have notched up headline slots at some of the most iconic venues in the city, as well as supporting the likes of Blitzen Trapper, Megafaun, Deadstring Brothers, The Features, The Acorn, The Travelling Band, Liam Frost, Buffalo Tom and The Bees.
They recently released their “Iron wall” EP and that along with their double A-side single “4th Street/For Carol“ was produced by The EARLIES. Both releases garnered numerous radio plays including BBC Radio 2 (Bob Harris) and BBC6 music (Cerys Matthews, Jo Good, Tom Robinson). Their “My Proud Mountains” animation featured as one of the Music Videos of the week on BBC6 Music. The same animator, Volkerfirma, was at the helm again for their latest animation for the song ‘Kodiak Bear’, off the same titled debut album due out in April 2012.
