Atlas Sound – Parallax

Atlas Sound is the musical solo project of Cox (Deerhunter), although he has used the name to represent his music since he was a child. He had access to a cassette player with two tape decks, which he used to layer guitar and drum sounds, and his own voice. In listening to some of these old tapes (of which Cox believes he has over five hundred in storage) he found “Some of it is absolutely, terrifyingly bad, but sometimes I’m just like, ‘Wow, that’s cool.’ That’s actually how some Deerhunter songs happened.
