BAEBLE CONCERTS: Atlas Sound at The FADER Sideshow

After many hours of live music, it is always nice when a performer helps an audience wind down for the evening…which is what made this performance from Bradford Cox' Atlas Sound so very gratifying as it was happening. Headlining Friday's edition of the FADER Sideshow, Cox whipped up a relaxing collage of terrestrial vocals and hypnotic Fender guitar, all flowing handsomely through miles of metal boxes and twisted wires. Though his output is organic at its source, Cox guides his music by higher powered, synthetic undercurrents, creating something that is both empowering and otherworldly. - David Pitz
