Atlas Genius have recently wrapped up recording their second album. We should expect a single within the next month or two.
Can't wait! Definitely my favorite band to breakout at Alternative radio in a long time. I still listen to "Back Seat" and "Symptoms" constantly and "Trojans" is a classic now.

Ooh, looking forward to this. I love the three songs you called out, but remember being disappointed with the rest of the album.

I really liked "If So" but prefer the two album cuts I mentioned above over it as a single choice. I also think "Centered On You" was a great album cut. "Trojans" first leaked in like 2011 so hopefully they've had plenty of time to craft new stuff that'll be among their strongest.

I'm excited, though I know this will get alot of hate here just for being Atlas Genius.

Loved Trojans. May not have been a worthy 52-weekend, but it was a great song.

I keep thinking Cody/Daryl are double posting, someone needs a new #1. Really excited for this one, loved Trojans, If So, Back Seat, etc. Hope they wait a bit so some of these core acts have a chance to fizzle out and they get a shot at a high peak.

Modest Mouse needs a video for Lampshades so that I can get a gif of it and put it as my avatar. That'll be my #1 for awhile methinks.

"Trojans" damn near put me to sleep after the first 3 months. It didn't help that it got overplayed to death and spent a year on the chart. "If So" was better, but was still underwhelming.
Will not be rooting for this. At all. Heck, maybe it can pull a New Politics on us if it's bad enough.

Last week someone complained about me having the same avatar as Kurt, now I have the same avatar as Cody.

I actually looked for one but couldn't find one...and in that case I usually make one myself, but that's where you're right in that making a gif of a spinning record wasn't a very intriguing idea, lol.

"Trojans" is one of the best songs to come out in years. Also this band was one the first bands that got me into the whole Indie Pop/Rock swing for that infectuous 80s bassline. I hope they don't change thier sound and go all folky. That would be heartbreaking.

I couldn't stand "Trojans" but was able to tolerate "If So." I still want to hear what this upcoming single sounds like. Bands that I haven't liked originally like Foster The People for example made a second big album that I ended up liking, so you never know.

I was just so sick of "Trojans" that I pre-judged this before it was even released, lol. Therefore, I'll listen to whatever this is when it comes out, but I won't be expecting much of it.

Hated "Trojans" at first, but it grew on me. I liked "If So" as well. We'll see how this is.

I've always thought "Trojans" should have crossed over to CHR. My sentiments were wrong :(

I always felt it was odd that they passed it, but then I remember that it and "Back Seat" (which has an awesome music video) were available on an EP for months before the album came out, so that's likely why.

"Trojans" was a favorite of mine. I'd hope to see it chart on the Hot 100, but alas.

This is solid, but nothing groundbreaking.
