LET THE BLIND LEAD... posted by J

"Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel" is the second album from the incredibly talented Bradford Cox. Atlas Sound is the solo effort from Cox who is the lead singer of Deerhunter.

I've been reading about the album since it came out in February which lead me to check out his myspace page(www.myspace.com/bradfordcox). Upon here the first song i was completely hooked. Shoe gaze guitars and ambient electronics, subdued drums and ghostly vocals, all are some of my favorite qualities in music.

Speaking of the vocals, they where all created while recording on the first take. Two of my favorite tracks are "Recent Bedroom" and "Quarantined". As with most ambient-esque music (and most music in general when i think about it) the listening experience can be further enjoyed with headphones. So get the album, get out your headphones, turn down the lights, and lie down in your bed and LISTEN!
