Download the Atlas Sound virtual 7″: ‘Doctor’ b/w ‘The Screens’

Here’s another reason to subscribe to Bradford Cox’s blog, as he just posted the latest installment to his virtual 7″ series, released under the Atlas Sound moniker, that features a great cover of the Five Discs’ late ’50s jam “Doctor” and a brand new song on the flip called “The Screens”. Speaking of which, The Screens is definitely one of the best B-sides I’ve had the chance of sampling as of late. It’s all packed…

Download: Atlas Sound + Panda Bear – ‘Walkabout’

This is maybe one of the best summer jams I’ve heard in ages! Seems like the influence of Noah Lennox (Panda Bear), and both the time Bradford Cox spent with Animal Collective on tour in Europe, played an enormous role on “Walkabout,” this brilliant collective effort. It’s a welcomed departure from Cox’s murky and at times all too personal previous material. Warm and filled with hope, it’s a song that will make the summer a…

Buddyhead interviews Bradford Cox (Deerhunter, Atlas Sound)

Buddyhead just recently caught up with the Deerhunter/Atlas Sound frontman Brandford Cox and made this … let’s say insightful interview. Don’t threat guys, he’s not robotripping, he’s just got some sort of weird ass flu (swine flu maybe?!). The dude’s still very much insane though! The interview peaks at well over 20 mins, but it’s definitely fun to watch Cox babbling like he’s on two tons of acid. Haha! Atlas Sound’s new record, “Logos,” will…

Bradford Cox straightens things out on the ‘leak’ issue

We’ve had a real indie soap-opera this weekend, with the whole Deerhunter/Atlas Sound records leakage. The whole event was categorized like a big ol’ publicity stunt by the media, fans and even labels, but Bradford (Atlas Sound) gives indications that that’s certainly not the case. Furthermore he posted a really lengthy apology down at his blog, where he explained the whole thing, said sorry to all the people that felt in any way offended by…

Download: Atlas Sound – ‘Holiday’

Props to Bradford Cox (Atlas Sound) of Deerhunter, again. The man seems to write songs as often as I change socks, which is not often enough, apparently. Anyway, he just released another “7 virtual vinyl (No. 4) over at his blog. Here I found a little gem of song, called “Holiday.” The song’s far from a summer pop anthem, instead it features dark, gloomy lyrics, then, put together with the mellow music, make a very…
