Preview a Track From the New Atlas Sound
Crazy, crazy Bradford Cox is prepping to release the second LP from his solo-project Atlas Sound, titled Logos. The album is going to be released on October 20 through Kranky. He’s just posted a track from the album, a collaborative song with Panda Bear (aka Noah Lennox) of Animal Collective. The track is titled “Walkabout” and can be downloaded here.
Talking about the collaboration Cox had this to say:
“I toured for a period in Europe with Animal Collective, whose band dynamic was very inspirational to be around. On the bus, we often played improvised iPod games. We would take turns formulating a theme or unifying concept and then play three songs. The goal would be for everyone to try and figure out the theme. During one of these games, someone played ‘What Am I Going to Do’ by the Dovers. I was amazed at the hook– a weird organ thing with drums and electric bass. I mentioned to Noah [Lennox] that someone should really sample that riff. He agreed and he taught me a little about sampling and matching up beats. This ended up as the collaborative effort ‘Walkabout’.”
