Bradford Cox has a keen ability to turn his personal tragedy into melodic gold. Best known as the frontman of indie-rock four-piece Deerhunter, Cox recently released his third solo EP as Atlas Sound. Classified as pop, “Parallax” really occupies a space of its own. It’s otherworldly and dreamy yet somehow manages to find footing in something very relatable. His genius lies in mastery of texture. Cox beautifully surges digitalism and classicism with submerged vocals but without hiding behind his sonic effects. There’s something more confident about “Parallax” than his previous stuff. As emotionally driven as his music is, it emanates a unique and personal positivity, leaving you feeling more energized than broken.
