[on repeat] THE SHAKES by Atlas Sound

The Shakes

Terra Incognita

Bradford Cox spends his time away from Deerhunter tinkering with dreamy electronics, chilling moods, and some spacey guitar strumming as part of his side project Atlas Sound.  His third album, Parallax, is due out on November 8 (buy) from 4AD and the tracks 'Te Amo,' 'Modern Aquatic Nightsongs,' 'Terra Incognita,' 'Amplifiers,' and 'Praying Man,' have all made
their way out to the internet prior to the release of the 14-track LP.  That's over a third of the album already, and it's been a lot of what we've come to expect from Bradford, but it has an overall simpler and cleaner sound that makes it more refined and easier to listen to for the most part.  I've been waiting to write about the new stuff until I got my hands on the full LP because given his recognition I think he deserves it, and it was something that seemed appropriate.  Besides, it's not as if he needs me to promote anything he releases.  Either way, the dreamy, mellow, and chill sounds are still just as pleasant and enjoyable to listen to especially when you throw in his soothing voice.  'The Shakes' is the lead track on the record and is one of the more upbeat, catchy tunes.  Also, the sheer beauty of 'Terra Incognita' can't be denied.
