Deerhunter frontman, prolific songwriter and general oddball Bradford Cox’s side project Atlas Sound releases their third album today, and for those who thought Deerhunter’s Halcyon Digest was one of 2010′s best, chances are you’ll really dig Parallax. It mines the same experimental vein of indie rock that Cox has been perfecting with Deerhunter, throwing in a bit more shades of weird than the classic rock-indebted Halcyon Digest showed. You wouldn’t know it from “The Shakes,” the accessible opening track off Parallax that reminds me of tracks like “Revival” and “Coronado” off Halcyon Digest. All in all, a compelling new release from one of indie rock’s more fearless personalities.
