Insound Staff Pick - 2008! Microcastle is the follow-up to 2006's Cryptograms and was recorded over the course of a week at Rare Book Studios in Brooklyn, New York with Nicolas Verhes. It was recorded as a four-piece consisting of Bradford Cox (you may recall his recent solo ventures as Atlas Sound), Lockett Pundt, Joshua Fauver and Moses Archuleta. Most tracks feature Bradford Cox on lead vocals except "Agoraphobia" and "Neither of Us, Uncertainly," where guitarist Lockett Pundt is the main provider and "Saved by Old Times", which includes a vocal collage by Cole Alexander of The Black Lips.
