Atlas Sound: Recent Bedroom


Somewhere from the 4AD shoegaze movement to the ethereally intense sound of Spiritualized falls Atlas Sound and their only record Let the Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel. This side project of Deerhunter vocalist Bradford Cox and contains obvious My Bloody Valentine influences. From The Velvet Underground die-hards to Sigur Ros fans, this big experimental sound offers something for everyone.

More gentle than Deerhunter, but as exploratory, this is a fantastic record full of blanketing fuzz and whimsical vocal stylings.

Song Breakdown

Best Place and Time to Listen:

Take the song's title as a cue . . . after a long night of hitting the town (you know what I'm talking about you hipster), play this song, lay in bed and come back down to Earth.

If This Song Was a Celebrity It Would Be:

Tim Burton
