Chris Atto
Best Albums of 2011 (Part 3)
Chris is pretty noncommittal when it comes to naming his top albums of 2011. To make him more comfortable, we’ll be referring to this list as “Chris Atto’s favorite albums during his lunch break on Tuesday, December 13, 2011 that were released in the past year.” He also mentions Zola Jesus’ elusiveness which might have … Continue reading
The Songs of 2011 (Part 2)
Yeah, that’s right. Get the fuck out of my face, 2011. Dan Bejar, by the way, always looks condescendingly pissed. On stage, in press photos, at amusement parks, eating ice cream. Always. I’m actually kind of intimidated by him. His music on the other hand…also casually condescending and just a little peeved. But really good. … Continue reading
ATLAS SOUND – Parallax (Pts 1-4)
Bradford Cox’s Deerhunter side/solo-project, Atlas Sound’s third official LP, Parallax hits the shelves tomorrow. Everyone is really excited about it. Everyone except Brandon and Chris. The two of them got together this week to try to figure out what the big deal was. Their conclusion was about as unsatisfying as every Bradford Cox album. (Which … Continue reading
ATLAS SOUND – Parallax (Part 4)
Bradford Cox is getting creepily serendipitous. He puts himself on Chris’s car stereo just in time for Chris’s response, and guides Chris and Brandon to the same lyric by sheer metaphysical willpower. That lyric: “Gave me bruises after the first time.” Spooky. Get out of our heads, Cox!
ATLAS SOUND – Parallax (Part 3)
Parallax refers to the displacement or difference in the perceived position of an object viewed along two different lines of sight. Clearly Chris and Brandon are looking at Parallax from a different angle than seemingly everyone else. Do I hear science experiment!? Not really. Just another bubble Brandon’s trying to burst.
ATLAS SOUND – Parallax (Part 2)
So…Bradford Cox is a mensch. That doesn’t mean his music is memorable, but, man does he make a great first impression. Chris thinks Cox is “one of the pure musicians out there, just making as much music as he can for the sake of music.” Completely forgettable music.
ATLAS SOUND – Parallax (Part 1)
Bradford Cox’s Deerhunter side/solo-project, Atlas Sound’s third official LP, Parallax hits the shelves tomorrow. Everyone is really excited about it. Everyone except Brandon. And he can’t figure out exactly why. This letter goes out to Chris Atto.
M83 – Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming (Pts 1-7)
M83’s Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming doesn’t come out until October 18th, but the damn thing is so epic, we had to get an early jump on it. Brandon, Chris Atto, and André Salas break down the double disc follow-up to the spectacular Saturdays=Youth. Topics include: children’s dreams, magic frogs, plush vampires, a Pretty in Pink … Continue reading
M83 – Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming (Part 7!)
Brandon brings it home with Part 7 of AudioVole’s most epic dialectic for what will likely be the most epic album of the Fall. Just remember this axiom: 10 song album = 90 minute movie. Don’t nobody got a problem with a 90 minute movie.
M83 – Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming (Part 6)
André corrects the record and demands more Zola Jesus. Word. Seconded.
