Atlas Sound: A Sea Of Voices

October 20, 2009 • Armed with a toy box of electronics and acoustics, Bradford Cox engineers a shift in mood on his latest album as Atlas Sound. Logos is considerably more upbeat than its predecessors, most notably in "Walkabout," which plinks along with chilly synths and a beat that's ready for radio. Animal Collective's Noah Lennox serves vocal duty, helping to submerge the song in a sea of voices.
