Atlanta, United States

Atlas Sound is the name of a musical solo project of Bradford Cox, the lead singer of Atlanta five-piece Deerhunter. Cox was born in Athens, Georgia in 1982. The singer has released an album entitled Let the Blind Lead Those Who Can See but Cannot Feel on indie-label Kranky to favorable reviews. In explaining his reasoning for a solo project, Cox has stated, “It’s just that I have ideas that I can’t make work with a five piece rock band… there’s kind of this palette of sounds that I use that I don’t necessarily get to use with Deerhunter”. Cox has noted his heroes to be Cindy Wilson from B-52’s and Laura Carter from Athens punk band the Bar-B-Q Killers.

Cox met his collaborator and best friend, Lockett pundt, in high school. He started recording on a cassette karaoke machine in 1994 when he was in sixth grade. He has used the name “Atlas Sound” since then, as it was the name of the company that manufactured the tape machine. Cox has also recorded as part of other bands, such as the short lived “Wet Dreams”, an all-girl garage / noise band in which he played drums. He also recorded several tracks on the Black Lips second album We Did Not Know the Forest Spirit Made the Flowers Grow, playing drums on the song Notown Blues from that album.

@shallowgraves: judging by your blurry picture, fat wrists, gobbler, long face, fat chin, terrible over-played bangs, big nose and attempt to cover your face and look away from the camera in a picture you took of yourself, the dude is an ugly mother fucker, but you're no kira knightly. [2]

look it up on the internet, you can be attracted to men for example but not want to have sex with them. its different than celibacy because celibacy is giving up sex for a reason like religious vows, it doesnt mean you don't want to have it. asexuality is just not WANTING to have sex at all. celibacy is a choice whereas asexuality is not. good day

Pffft... this sucks.. I saw Atlas Sound was coming around to my town and have been hearing a lot about this guy, so I checked it out and it didn't really sound the greatest. A couple weeks after the show, I listen to the same thing again and now like it a lot... Horrible injustices in the world...
