- Event Details
- Atlas Sound is the solo moniker of Deerhunter frontman/provocateur Bradford Cox, so named since 1994, when a sixth-grade Bradford made recordings on a karaoke cassette machine bearing the words Atlas Sound. Though it was Coxs earliest musical incarnation, it wasnt until 2008 that the first Atlas Sound album emerged, Let The Blind Lead Those Who See But Cannot Feel. As Coxs tirelessly updated blog attests, with its caverns of freely available covers, demos and mixtapes, such recording processes are central to his music, colouring the intimate feel of Atlas Sound in a manner more apparent than when writing under the guise of Deerhunter. If its predecessor was a record of fragile beauty and acute experimentalism that spoke of its bedroom genesis, the second Atlas Sound album, Logos, arrived in 2009 with a far more rooted pop sensibility. Featuring collaborations with Animal Collectives Noah Lennox and Laetitia Sadler of Stereolab, the album expanded on the often-insular tendencies of the first Atlas Sound record, this time outward gazing and almost sunshine loving in its ebullience. Moving away from piercing introspection and towards a grand pop plateau, Cox managed to translate his music into a more universally engaging form while retaining the intimate charms of the project.

2 months agoWe've always preferred Bradford Cox's work as Atlas Sound to his Deerhunter material — while the latter's appeal is largely contingent on your appetite for extended one-paced, head-punching psych jams, the latest Atlas Sound LP, Parallax (4AD, 2011), is pleasantly understated and, dare we say it, tropical. more at flavorpill.com
