Atlas Sound
Shelia - Live Performance of 'Atlas Sound' at The National, Richmond
On December 15, 2011, Atlas Sound, the solo project of Deerhunter's Bradford Cox, delivered a captivating performance at The National in Richmond, Virginia. This show came shortly after the release of his album "Parallax," which dropped in late 2011. "Parallax" showcased Cox's signature dreamy soundscapes and introspective lyrics, solidifying his unique place in the indie music scene. Interesting tidbit: during this period, he was praised for his ability to blend different musical styles, and his live shows often felt more intimate and spontaneous, giving fans a sense of connection that recorded music sometimes misses. The performance of "Shelia" during this concert was particularly special for attendees, as it highlighted the raw emotionality typical of Cox's work. It was that mix of vulnerability and strength that left audience members, including the one behind the camera, weak in the knees, capturing a moment that fans cherish.
