Atlas Sound: New Record, Fall Tour

Atlas Sound - Logos, Cover

If there's anything Bradford Cox is (besides a musical genius, and a bit of a drama queen), it's prolific. Case in point, after releasing two records under the Deerhunter moniker last year, Cox is already back with another as Atlas Sound. Logos drops on October 20th on Kranky Records, and should be quite a treat for the ears. While some have found Cox's solo/Atlas material to be less accessible, this disc (much, in our opinion, like Microcastle) promises to be a fair bit more open to the masses. What's more, it features a nice cameo by current hipster-idol Panda Bear, of one Animal Collective. Win.

In addition to the record, Cox is mounting a fall tour for Atlas Sound that will cover most of the US. This will include two New York dates on October 20th and 21st at Le Poisson Rouge and The Music Hall Of Williamsburg, and a stop in San Francisco on November 3rd at Great American. While we've never seen Atlas Sound live, we can tell you this: if it's half as good as Deerhunter's live show, then it's damn well worth your money. Go!

To be fair, Hanan - have to agree with anonymous. Bradford has a pretty serious musculoskeletal disease. Definitely not anorexic!
