Don't ask me why, but I've only got into Atlas Sound properly over the last two months or so. I remember being equal parts captivated and frustrated by Deerhunter's Cryptograms in 2007, so I just assumed (ignorantly) that Atlas Sound would be a vehicle for Bradford Cox's worst indulgences. I didn't realise that the chap just ain't got enough monikers to contain his music. Prolific's not the word, rampant's more like it. As with Will Oldham, Cox allies propuctivity with consistency, and I'm hard pushed to choose between Halcyon Digest and Logos. Lesser bands could (justifiably) dine out on these records, but not he. No, he's back in a few weeks with Parallax (which sounds awesome). But for now, check his breeziest moment to date, 'Walkabout', with Panda Bear's Noah Lennox, who lends his mighty lungs to this sunny piece of avant pop.
