ATLAS STRATEGIC
"Rapture, Ye Minions" CD (CW003)

   One of the more wackier and estrangest bands to emerge out of Victoria: musically and aesthetically. The debut from Atlas Strategic offers a thick slab of sci-fi, spy-flick, herky-jerky blues, new wave raunch that pays as much homage to Jon Spencer, The Cramps, and Deja Voodoo as it does to the scrambled mind of the late Burroughs, etc. This band was scooped up under the wing of Modest Mouse's Isaac Brock for a while (tour support, etc.) before their dissolve in 2002. Members now play in the Sub Pop band Wolf Parade.

Released 2000.
