My affinity for the peculiar looking Bradford Cox (Deerhunter/Atlas Sound) stretches out to the far reaches of my heart, and the depths of my knees. He is just so strange, and gloriously talented. There is a cosmic center of creativity with virtually no room to exist inside his bones and limbs of nothing more than skin and inches. Giraffe-like with strides as clumsy as a deer, Cox has become an anomaly, rightful royalty as a fixture in the indie experimental pop genre.

His blog offers free downloads of his latest creations. The most recent are two new solo acoustic tracks, very stripped down, hazy songs that take it down several notches allowing you to let the bare sounds blanket you effortlessly. I often spend my time, while listening to Logos, imagining Cox in his room surrounded by a barracade of action figures and childhood fingerpaint writing songs that are almost always reported swiftly the next day by Spin and personal blogs all across this great universe.
