Atlas Sound

Atlas Sound is the solo project of Deerhunter frontman Bradford Cox.  The first Atlas Sound album, Let the Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel, has primarily a bedroom electronics type of sound.  His second album Logos has more of a folk sound and includes guest vocals from Animal Collective's Noah Lennox (Panda Bear) and Stereolab's Laetita Sadier.  It's without a doubt of the best records to be released in 2009.

In addition to the albums, Bradford is constantly releasing free music on his blog.  With the combined output of his two groups, I don't know where the dude finds the time to make so much music.

I caught Atlas Sound play at Music Hall of Williamsburg back in October, as part of the CMJ Music Marathon.  It was a stellar show.  I took some videos with the iPhone.  Check 'em out.
