Welcome to PARALLAX, the third long player from Atlas Sound, the ever expansive solo project from Bradford Cox of Deerhunter. Atlas Sound is not a "side-project" but rather a fully fleshed musical landscape chock-full of pop chronicles culled from sci-fi fever dreams and mid century rock. This is perhaps Cox's best work to date, juxtaposing his modern, sometimes avant, songwriting sensibilities against a backdrop of ambient loneliness and a quiet feeling of desperation. The artwork and photos were done by Mick Rock, the legendary photographer best known for his work with David Bowie. Let the album unfurl slowly, listen repeatedly and it will reveal itself in all it's intricate resplendence.

Lonely, spacious, strange. This album invokes a full spectrum of emotions when listened to in its entirety. Terra Incognita in particular, has left the biggest impression on me (almost two years later, I still find myself fascinated by its peaceful, disturbing melody). It is haunting, beautiful, and playful in the darkest and lightest of senses.
Every song is equally catchy. They're all a beautiful balance of poppy and easy to listen to, but also a little strange and enticing. Great album by a great artist.
