Atlas Sound

Atlas Sound頗具詩人氣質的主唱Bradford Cox16歲時，他的胸部和背部在一家兒童醫院進行了多種手術。他的音樂，已經證明，與他的病情——馬凡氏綜合徵，很難分開。Cox失去的童年，失去的夏天，和他虛弱的體質，一直籠罩在他的音樂的無窮無盡裏。 Atlas Sound的音樂，哀而不傷，美而殘酷，正如專輯富有詩意的名字般朦朧而壓抑，漸行漸遠的迷幻氛圍感，忽強忽弱。抵達聽覺最深處，就像做了一個超現實的夢——沉入大西洋底的夢——甫一醒來，你才發現你卻躺在月球表面。 Atlas Sound is the solo project of Bradford Cox, the striking and eccentric vocalist for experimental indie rockers Deerhunter. Cox was born in 1982 in Athens, GA, a town whose burgeoning music scene greatly influenced the singer. He identified with the B-52's while growing up, especially the late Ricky Wilson, and co-founded Deerhunter with drummer/keyboardist Moses Archuleta in 2001. Deerhunter released two full-length albums and an EP before taking a break in 2007, the bandmembers citing a desire to sort out their personal lives in the interim. Cox shifted his focus to Atlas Sound, having already issued a split 12" vinyl and a pair of EPs under the same moniker. Molding his sound from a wide range of influences -- including doo wop, electronica, and Elvis Presley -- Cox then set to work on Atlas Sound's full-length debut, Let the Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel, which was released in early 2008.
