<p>Yes, this has been a good year for <strong>Bradford Cox</strong>, the frontman for <strong>Deerhunter</strong> and their heavy Krautrock-meets-shoegaze webs of sound. <cite>Let the Blind&#8230;</cite> is the official first offering from Atlas Sound, Bradford&#8217;s solo-project alias. This epic collection of bedroom experiments and gauzy, washy songs follows a similar cohesion as Deerhunter&#8217;s work but wanders from their decidedly rock leanings into more ambient and textural zones. The seamless field of songs here brings the unexpected influences of minimalist electronica, music concrete and experimental composers like <strong>Terry Riley</strong> and <strong>Pauline Oliveros</strong> in and out of focus, still worshiping at the altar of <strong>My Bloody Valentine</strong>. Much like the <strong>Panda Bear</strong> record didn&#8217;t sound a lot like <strong>Animal Collective</strong> but made perfect sense as a companion, Atlas Sound is its own entity and exudes a similarly intimate, glowing blanket of sound and feeling.
