“…another affecting dispatch from a corner of indie music that is increasingly starting to seem like one Cox pretty much owns.” – Pitchfork 8.2
“What makes Bradford's projects successful, no matter how much hype he receives or how much he opens up about what he's doing, is that his songs contain a certain listen-to-me-again mystery.” – Stereogum
Getting rave reviews all over, Atlas Sound brings his new album Logos to Whelan’s on Nov 21.
Atlas Sound is the solo project of Bradford Cox , the striking and eccentric vocalist for Athens, G.A experimental indie rock act Deerhunter. Cox was born in 1982 in Athens, a town whose burgeoning music scene greatly influenced the singer. He identified with the B-52's while growing up, particularly the late Ricky Wilson, and co-founded Deerhunter with drummer/keyboardist Moses Archuleta in 2001.
When Deerhunter took a break in 2007, Cox then shifted his focus to Atlas Sound, having already issued a split 12" vinyl and a pair of EPs under the same name. Molding his sound from a wide range of influences - including doo wop, electronica, and Elvis Presley, Cox set to work on Atlas Sound's full-length debut, Let the Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel. (Kranky)
The album appeared in early 2008 and received strong reviews, fueling Cox’s decision to quickly begin work on a second album. Later that year, however, an unfinished copy of the intended second album was leaked from Cox's MediaFire account, causing the exasperated singer to consider abandoning the project altogether. He eventually returned to the material, polished its rough edges, and has just released the finished product, now titled Logos (Kranky). Animal Collective's Noah Lennox (aka Panda Bear) and Stereolab's Laetitia Sadier are featured guests on the album.
