Song of the Week


Logos

Not into the whole wasting away hipster look, The D Man likes his leading men with a little more backbone, something that Bradford Cox doesn't quite offer. But in Cox's case, he suffers from the rare genetic disorder Marfan syndrome, which often produces, among other things, long limbs with long thin fingers. (Joey Ramone shared the same disorder). Regardless, the frontman for Deerhunter and shockingly skinny dude is wrung out with talent. And there is no denying the dreamy allure of "Quick Canal" from a collection of demos that Cox recently released under his Atlas Sound moniker as the proper album, Logos.

With vocals from Laetitia Sadier of Stereolab (a muse of sorts), "Quick Canal" plays to Cox's stream-of-consciousness strength and pulses its way through a decidedly end-of-the-decade experiment in what can be described as a kind of classic lab-pop. Enjoy the video below.


BONUS: Check out "Walkabout," another delightful musical collaboration from Logos, this time with Panda Bear (Mr. Noah Lennox).
