The Atlas Moth Announces Covers EP "The One Amongst The Weed Fields"

Candlelight Records will release a digital-only covers EP from Chicago's The Atlas Moth on September 28th, 2010. Titled "The One Amongst the Weed Fields," the EP contains renditions of "California Dreamin’" (The Mamas & The Papas), "Fearless" (Pink Floyd), "Golden" (Failure), and "Five to One" (The Doors).

The Atlas Moth 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."

Stereogum has premiered a the track from the EP, in the form of "Golden" by Failure. Check it out at this location. The Atlas Moth will also be on tour with Nachtmystium, Zoroaster, and Dark Castle on the following dates:
