Atlas Sound: Logos
Deerhunter frontman releases finished version of leaked demos Proving it’s dangerous to be a prolific artist in the MP3 era, Bradford Cox suffered some self-inflicted damage in August 2008 when he unintentionally made public an entire album’s worth of demos.

Logos, the forthcoming album from Deerhunter frontman Bradford Cox's side project Atlas Sound, has a mildly turbulent backstory. After accidentally leaking an unmastered version to the internet, Cox spitefully declared that he would never finish the album, though he later rescinded the threat. A lot can change in a year; Logos is now set for an Oct. 20 release, and Atlas Sound will be hitting the road this month for a North American tour.... read more

Poor Bradford Cox. All he wanted to do was give away some free music, as he often does via his blog, and what happens? The "Virtual 7" No.4" he intended to pass along to fans somehow morphed into the passage of his entire MediaFire account contents, including many unfinished demos and Weird Era Cont., what was supposed to be a surprise bonus disc included with the upcoming release of Microcastle.... read more

[Above: Deerhunter performs at Atlanta's Vacation Gallery, 8/15]Bradford Cox's uncensored blog posts can be informative, whiny, excited, grateful, often apologetic, and frequently (very frequently) include free downloads of mix tapes, virtual 7" singles and individual tracks from one of his two main projects, Deerhunter and Atlas Sound.

Bradford Cox sure writes some fun blog posts. We've said it before and we'll very likely say it again as long as he keeps updating, but it's unlikely that dude was bad at sharing as a child.

Though it was a big year for Deerhunter’s Bradford Cox, 2008 will not merely be devoted to telling everyone about the awesomeness of Cryptograms. Instead, Cox will introduce the world to his solo project Atlas Sound, the first proper album of which, Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel, will be released on Kranky on Feb 19. Let The Blind is a haunting, intimate album, and that ambience translates to Atlas Sound's live show. While the rest... read more
