Hey guys, remember The American Dollar? They of the effervescent soundscapes and jittery electronica? Of course you do! Well, they’re back with a follow-up to 2008’s A Memory Stream in the form of a new LP, Atlas, released January 1. They pretty much deliver what’s expected of them on Atlas, though the sound is a bit tighter than previous releases and slightly more complex – more noise, more tricks, more fun. Oh, and then there’s this (what I wrote about them previously):
Solely instrumental, The American Dollar can be played anytime, anywhere, and emotions will soar, perhaps frightening those ill-prepared, yet gradually comforting them with the mesmerizing intricacy of the sound. If you’re not one with an imagination, then I suggest you steer clear.
That much has remained the same, of course.
