The good people over at Impose have put up some photos from the Atlas Sound show at the Bell House. While I’m ready to chuck Memory Tapes into the half-full bin of cool-but-a-bit-emotionally-boring glo-fi (or whatever) acts, I’ve never felt more strongly that Bradford Cox is a mad-scientist-genius-circus-freak walking around amongst the rest of us mortal men. I’ve never seen anyone use pedals and button-pushing, as I so tenderly call it, to such effect, turning his voice and acoustic guitar into the most wonderful, surprising, joyful, and inventive layers of sound I could ask for. Check out the photos over at Impose. And while you’re there, do make sure to check out all of their other stuff; they’ve got great taste.
