Out now, Logos finds Deerhunter lynchpin Bradford Cox return to his solo guise as Atlas Sound for another round of ethereal pop genius with his second solo album.

Whilst its predecessor (Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Feel, 2007; available here) was a record of fragile beauty and acute experimentalism in comparison to the often volatile bluster of Deerhunter, Logos has a far more rooted pop sensibility.

At its heart is ‘Walkabout’, a collaboration between Cox and Noah Lennox (Panda Bear) put together whilst he was on tour with Animal Collective in Europe. Combining their love for tape loops and doo-wop, the track lifts the hook from The Dovers’ classic 1966 garage track ‘What Am I Going To Do?’ to form a glorious summertime jam.

Elsewhere Stereolab’s Laetitia Sadier also lends her vocals to the kaleidoscopic motorik number, ‘Quick Canal’.???

After an unmastered draft of Logos was accidently leaked by Cox via his infamous blog, with its caverns of covers, demos and mixtapes the 27-year-old makes freely available to his legions of fans, the finished article is the sound of Atlas Sound changing up; away from such piercing introspection but retaining the ambient bedroom recording charms that initially made the this pop prince’s solo project so bewitching.?

'The Light That Failed'
