When Bradford Cox's server got hacked, a version of the unreleased Atlas Sound LP Logos spread all over the web. As he told us recently, that was just a draft; the real LP is a far cry from Let The Blind..., less laptop/bedroom pop, more collaborative, more global. That previous LP recalled some of the spirit if not the sound of Panda Bear's stunning Person Pitch, so the news that Noah Lennox would contribute to Logos made sense spiritually, and also made sense because the boys are bros. Cox detailed the genesis of the collab in a recent interview with P4K: I toured for a period in Europe with Animal Collective, whose band dynamic was very inspirational to be around. On the bus, we often played improvised iPod games. We would take turns formulating a theme or unifying concept and then play three songs. The goal would be for everyone to try and figure out the theme. During one of these games, someone played 'What Am I Going to Do' by the Dovers. I was amazed at the hook-- a weird organ thing with drums and electric bass. I mentioned to Noah [Lennox] that someone should really sample that riff. He agreed and he taught me a little about sampling and matching up beats. This ended up as the collaborative effort 'Walkabout'As we learn today, the collaborative effort "Walkabout" is a total jam, equal parts Bradford, Brian Wilson, and "Bros." Great start to the LP, but also maybe one day we should petition for a Panda Cox album. Continue reading New Atlas Sound (Feat. Noah Lennox) - "Walkabout"...

"Walkabout" isn't the best track on Atlas Sound's second proper full-length Logos, but it is the song that features a member of Animal Collective, which is likely why it got out there first. Truth is, it's kind of album's curve ball moment. Even though its more skeletal than some of Logos (see, for instance, the show-stopping "Quick Canal"), the...

Lindsey Buckingham's (great) "Walk A Thin Line" from the (great) Tusk LP is such a pretty and pleading track, relying on LB's falsetto and guitar triads, flat-smacked drum sounds, and backing vocals that "oh-wa-oh-wa" upfront and get increasingly gauzy/complex as the song progresses to strike an emotional chord. Bradford Cox, for his part, has r...

We've been spending plenty of quality time with Atlas Sound's Logos. Looks like longstanding electro-lined UK dream-pop duo will be doing so, too Atlas Sound and Broadcast begin a month-long North American trek in mid October. (For anyone who pays attention to Cox & Co's blog, this pairing shouldn't be a surprise.) It's Broadcast's first tou...

Outside of all those free downloads and EPs, Atlas Sound is following Let the Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel with the second proper full-length Logos. According to a note from Cox written on July 4th, the 11-track collection's more in the spirit of Microcastle than his past Atlas Sound work.My last album was a bedroom laptop type t...
