Atlas Sound

In December 2011, Atlas Sound, the solo project of Bradford Cox from Deerhunter, gave a captivating live performance at The National in Richmond, Virginia. At this point in his career, he had just released the album "Parallax" a month earlier, which showcased his introspective songwriting and experimental sound. This album really marked a creative high for Cox, blending lo-fi aesthetics with lush melodies. Fans attending the show were likely buzzing with excitement after hearing tracks from "Parallax," and it's interesting to note that during this performance, Bradford playfully engaged with the audience, even teasing them before returning for an encore—something characteristic of his charismatic on-stage presence. The live recording captures the evening's energy beautifully, reflecting a pivotal moment in his evolving artistry.
