Deerhunter The Movie Way Longer Than Deerhunter the Band’s Career
November 24, 2007
* Bradford Cox
Just announced via the band’s blog, Deerhunter will be on hiatus after their current tour. Pitchfork has been suckling on their teet since Cryptograms, a pop record awash in calm, arty waters. Singer Bradford Cox’s solo project Atlas Sound will have full-time status now, and his off the cuff recording will be polished with the release of the full length Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel (Kranky Records) on February 19th. Judging from the site, Cox has made a habit of posting Atlas Sound songs right after he recorded them on tour, on the bus, at the venue, sometimes reposting them later with corrections. It’s interesting to note that the singer has been a little squirrely about his sexual orientation in interviews, but on stage with the band, he’ll rant about it and lip sync like a drag diva all the while donning a sleeveless, sparkley dress. Hopefully his lonesome foray into the biz will get whatever’s deep in there out and on the vinyl plate. So far Atlas Sound is a hazy, lazy river of soft, layered strumming and reverb. Pretty stuff.
