And Other Smaller, Brighter Worlds, THE ATARI STAR's second full-length release expands further upon the diverse palette of melodic pop textures showcased on their 2001 debut. Swirling, gentle, pop songs coupled with bittersweet lyrics create a sound that is both familiar and strikingly original. Recorded once again by Chicago engineer Jeremy Lemos (whose recent credits include: STEREOLAB, JOAN OF ARC, SMOG, and JIM O'ROURKE), And Other Smaller, Brighter Worlds is sure to be hailed as one of the best American indie rock records of 2002. This record will be serviced to 400 college radio stations and hundreds of music magazines. A U.S. tour is also slated for Spring 2002.
