Atlas Sound

Atlas Sound颇具诗人气质的主唱Bradford Cox16岁时，他的胸部和背部在一家儿童医院进行了多种手术。他的音乐，已经证明，与他的病情——马凡氏综合征，很难分开。Cox失去的童年，失去的夏天，和他虚弱的体质，一直笼罩在他的音乐的无穷无尽里。 Atlas Sound的音乐，哀而不伤，美而残酷，正如专辑富有诗意的名字般朦胧而压抑，渐行渐远的迷幻氛围感，忽强忽弱。抵达听觉最深处，就像做了一个超现实的梦——沉入大西洋底的梦——甫一醒来，你才发现你却躺在月球表面。 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.
