"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 spaciously intimate "Attic Lights" nails the collection's vibe better and feels more representative of its overall aesthetic. Cox offered some background on the song in his initial Logos statement:Sasha Vine [of Sian Alice Group] provided a double-tracked improvised violin part to "Attic Lights" which was recorded backstage at a Deerhunter/Sian Alice Group show in Brighton. It might be my favorite moment of the album. I played it for some younger friends of mine. They cringed. They wanted more songs like "Walkabout." Something with a big beat. I told them when they get older they will appreciate things like harmonicas and violins...And Fleetwood Mac covers. Take a listen to "Attic Lights":Continue reading New Atlas Sound - "Attic Lights"...

The sixth installment of Bradford Cox's virtual 7" series dropped early this morning. The hypnotic plinky keyboard part on "Solo, Or 'The Square'" recalls a Caribbean steel band, and Bradford's heavily reverbed vocals have an appropriately laid back vibe. There are even some winking, lazy "do do da da"s halfway through. It flows nicely into its ...

When Bradford Cox wants to stray from the Deerhunter herd, he has his Atlas Sound project. And when guitarist Lockett Pundt wishes to do the same? Enter Lotus Plaza. Frequent patrons of the so-called Deerhunter blog will already be familiar with the act, but Pundt is all set to step out in a big way with his debut full-length under the Lotus Pla...
