Atlas Sound’s Logos Finally Due in Autumn

Atlas Sound

Atlas Sound

The second album by Deerhunter’s frontman Bradford Cox’s solo project, Atlas Sound, will finally be released in October on Kranky. Entitled Logos, the album has been in the works for over a year and was leaked late last year in an unmastered state after the contents of Cox’s mediafire folder became accessible via the Deerhunter blog.

In the meantime, Cox has re-worked the record and recruited some exciting guest musicians – namely Laetitia Sadier from Stereolab and Noah Lennox, aka Panda Bear, from Animal Collective. Cox has consistently discussed the influence of these two bands on his own music in interviews and in his blog, and now they’re on his album- the lucky fellow!

In a press release, Cox has described how Logos differs from his previous work, particularly 2008’s Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel:

“My last album was a bedroom laptop type thing. Very introverted. Logos is an album that was recorded all over the world. It’s not about me. There are collaborations with other musicians. The lyrics are not autobiographical. The view is a lot more panoramic and less close-up. I became bored with introspection… Almost everything you hear on the album is a first take. This makes it almost like a ‘live album’ where a band sets up in a studio and just rolls tape. There are songs on here I don’t even remember recording.”

The tracklist for Logos is below. Atlas Sound currently have no scheduled tour date, though Cox will continue to tour the world with Deerhunter throughout August.
