"Logos" set my aural world on fire when it came out, and I found it purely accidentally when I was browsing the 4ad catalog. I love 4ad as a label, ever since the Cocteau Twins defined dream pop in the 80's. I found Atlas Sound to be wonderfully within that tradition of beautiful, floating, challenging music, and Parallax continues the good things that I loved from Logos. Cox's voice is alternately gritty and velvety, and there is an urgency to his songs that propels the disc along, pulling you towards the inner vortex of his musical vision--but what you find there is truly anyone's guess--a maelstrom of desire? A statically charged love song? Bossa nova influenced detuned angst? All of the above? Yes, yes, and again, yes. As you expect, Songcraft is strong, with definite changes from song to song, this is not just an aural collage. Rather, it is an experimental song cycle performed with assurance and refreshingly evident passion. Echoing loops, complex underpinning with electronics, and heavily treated guitar sounds are brought together by Cox's affecting singing. There is a lot of emotion to be found on all the tracks, and although this album is going to take a lot of exploration to truly understand it, the music is so viscerally interesting, beautiful and exciting that I look forward to that exploration very much. An album that I expect to appreciate for a long time to come.

expansive, airy, floating, complex and warm electronic indie pop
December 9, 2011
Format:Audio CD
The 3rd release from the man behind Deerhunter--expansive, airy, floating, complex and very
warm electronic indie pop in a comfortably accessible, but odd, atmosphere. Beautiful, friendly,
uninhibited, otherworldly songs with a slightly alien dream-snuggle factor. Another small, subtle
work of gentle, eclectic genius from Bradford Cox. Includes a guest spot from member of
MGMT. Feels like a slow, deep grower.

This one is a bit 'meh', or perhaps I'm getting tired of this band. I'd go for the earlier stuff, if you haven't already.
Postscript- I like this much more after repeated listening. The lush reverb sound and texture never gets old for me. Woozy, dreamy music.

An uneven album
My first introduction to Mr Cox was with Deerhunter's most recent album Halcyon Digest which I bought completely on a whim. I was blown away by that album. Read more

Mesmerizingly beautiful pop with a hazy hue
Bradford Cox's so-called side project Atlas Sound is not unlike Spencer Krug's side project Sunset Rubdown. Musically, the acts are worlds-apart. Read more
