Atlas Sound is the name of a musical solo project of Bradford Cox, the lead singer of Deerhunter. Cox was born in Athens, Georgia in 1982. In early 2008 he released his first album entitled Let the Blind Lead Those Who Can See but Cannot Feel on indie-labels Kranky and 4AD. His second album, Logos, was released in fall 2009 to critical acclaim. 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.

Cox's cover of Leonard Cohen is pretty interesting. I think it would be cool to see him do a straight up acoustic session (maybe he has already, he does make a ton of music). http://pitchfork.com/news/45313-watch-bradford-cox-cover-leonard-cohen/

He stood me and my friends up at a cute restaurant the other day, but he was very sweet about it.

Parallax is incredibly good, you attackers. The goodness of an album is not about being damn interesting and not having a single moment of boredom in it. Listen to it without thinking "Let the Blind is better".

@Colton45 He has been openly gay for a while now, although he claims to live a sex-free life, so I would characterize him more as asexual

Parallax is just really boring - most of the stuff he's posted for free on the Deerhunter blog is better. (Mona Lisa was actually posted to the blog under one of the Bedroom Databanks like 2 years ago.) Let The Blind... is still my favorite album of his, Logos also has some really good moments, but Parallax is totally "meh". When Bradford goes acoustic, it's like he just loses everything that made his music interesting. At this point, in terms of Deerhunter side-projects, I'm way more interested in hearing Lockett's next album as Lotus Plaza.

I want nothing but an enriching platonic relationship with Bradford. Also I thought he said he was gay like 2 months ago?

Parallax is as good as the previous albums. I think all three deserve 8/10 but I feel at any time Mr. Cox will Appear with a 10/10 record! I miss breathtaking-factor.
