Atlas Sound – Logos

As Atlas Sound, Bradford Cox is not a punk from Georgia anymore. And although Logos is two years and two albums removed from the memories of Deerhunter, his last noisy band, it nevertheless contents itself in remembering the murky, often eerie sound of the past. If Deerhunter was the sound of Cox as a thrashing punk grotesque with Marfan syndrome in the Gothic South, Atlas Sound is his inward journey to a more surreal plane.

On the final night of this year’s PlaySTL Fest, noted Atlanta songster Bradford Cox headed over to the 560 Music Center building for the most anticipated set of the 3-day St. Louis music shindig. Cox, also the front man of the 5-piece Deerhunter of Microcastle-fame, was alone, performing under his solo moniker Atlas Sound. Cox has used Atlas Sound as a tripped-out solo outlet since his less-documented middle school days, and last year released the full-length Let the Blind Lead Those Who Can See but Cannot Feel to positive reviews. In October of 2009, Cox will be releasing the highly anticipated follow up, Logos, which was featured prominently during his Saturday night performance.
