While tour announcements are pretty commonplace in these here news pages, rarely do they get us as excited as this one. Word has just come that in mid-October Bradford Cox's non-Deerhunter outfit Atlas Sound will pair up with long-running British pop experimentalists Broadcast for a month-long jaunt across Canada and the U.S.
On the co-headlining tour, the bands will play Montreal on October 23, Toronto on October 24 and Vancouver on October 30, just in time for Cox's favourite time of year: Halloween. Apparently, Broadcast's set will involve a "stripped down" evening of the group's tunes, new and old, by the band's Trish Keenan and James Cargill, while Atlas Sound will feature Cox and presumably a cast of thrown-together backing players.
As previously reported, Atlas Sound have their Logos album heading our way October 20 via Kranky, and Broadcast will have a new EP due out October 13 on Warp. That Broadcast release doesn't have a title yet, but via a web post, Keenan ensures us it will be full of "seancing songs and witch cult rumbles."

10/15 Atlanta, GA - The Earl
10/16 Chapel Hill, NC - Local 506
10/17 Washington, D.C. - Black Cat
