Atlas Sound

ATLAS SOUND IN CONCERT: Atlas Sound is the solo project of Deerhunter frontman Bradford Cox, whose impressive songwriting chops and experimental nature have long made him an indie darling. His solo work explores a softer side of his idiosyncratic talents, which plays wonderfully in intimate concert settings. Plugging an acoustic guitar into an arsenal of tone-manipulating devices, he conjures stunning swathes of sound by layering rhythmic, melodic passages on top of each other. The awe-inspiring results, coupled with lyrics that discover beauty in the rubble of Cox’s own insecurities, offer an exhilarating glimpse into the mind of this art rock auteur.
