New Atlas Sound - "Maybe Logic" & "Airedales"

thubmnail icon: New Atlas Sound - "Maybe Logic" & "Airedales"

Bradford Cox is on a roll. He just gave us the Halloween-ready "Coffin Trick" (Lilys + bare bones Kinks + Shadow Ring) a couple days ago, but he's already posted a pair of new songs -- "Maybe Logic" and "Airedales." They're tied together as the Maybe Logic Virtual 7", so honor the format and try listening in order. The first, "Maybe Logic," is a dense 6-minute swirl of upbeat, teeming psychedelics with hand-drum percussion that opens to a bunch of lush waves, whirls and a feedback exit. "Airedales," on the other hand, is a quieter crystalline music-box lullaby that drifts into spacier realms by its finale.

No, neither are as instantly satisfying as Cox's work on Microcastles, but it's good to hear new sounds emerging from his workshop.

are you guys going to be covering every time he uploads a new track? because if so, that will be quite a lot of posts.

I'm really digging this one. He just keeps getting better. The last track is very reminiscent of water curses, though. At least to me.

k

"Airedales" opening moments _totally_ sounds like it's going to sell us a beta PowerPC­™, circa 1984.

This is my favorite virtual 7" he's released so far. I think it reflects that he was touring with Stereolab.

It's really good! That's my objective opinion...
