We give a ton of credit to frontman Bradford Cox for the continuing greatness of the Atlanta ambient punk band Deerhunter, but anyone who got lost in tracks like "Desire Lines" and "Fountain Stairs" off of Halcyon Digest knows how crucial guitarist Lockett Pundt is to the group's appeal. Pundt's 2009 solo album under his Lotus Plaza moniker, The Floodlight Collective, is an outstanding headphones-in-a-moonlit-room listening experience, and as Pitchfork reports, he's ready to release a follow-up album this spring entitled Spooky Action At A Distance.
The album drops on April 2 via Kranky and will be the focus on Pundt's upcoming tour that's starting on March 7 at Atlanta's 529. He'll swing up this way to play Glasslands Gallery in Brooklyn on April 19 with labelmates Disappears - tickets for that show are available now, and it's likely the best $12 you'll spend today. Check out more tour dates along with the album tracklist after the jump.
To get a sense of where his head's at for this album, you can check out the new 10" split single that will come out on Valentine's Day via Audraglint. It features a new 9-minute shoegazey Lotus Plaza track called "Come Back," along with a song recorded as Nice Weekend with his fiancee Shayda Yavari. Stream the Lotus Plaza track after the jump or check out the full split single over on Spotify.
