Few contemporary musicians utilize their internet presence the way Bradford Cox does. Lynchpin and brainchild behind both Deerhunter and Atlas Sound, one being his full band project and the other being his solo venture, respectively, Bradford is renowned for uploading onto his blog countless gift tracks, demos, b side cuts, tracks that didn't and/or won't make albums, holiday songs ( e.g. Christmas Synths!). So I've always known the dude is not only absolutely musically brilliant but also pretty formidable. I knew he produced a lot of music, and I knew a lot of it was superb; it wasn't until over the past few days when I realized Bradford is unrivaled and sui genaris in terms of his prolificacy: over four days, he's released a Bedroom Databank collection in four volumes, all of which are beyond par and a hell of a lot more enjoyable than quite a lot of music out there right now. The fact that these are the dude's outtakes is obscenely admirable and should inject not a small amount of envy in a lot of musicians. The music just pours out of him, it seems. Below, I'll link to the blog and the four individual posts for each volume.
Bedroom Databank Volume 1
Bedroom Databank Volume 2
Bedroom Databank Volume 3
Bedroom Databank Volume 4
Per usual, these are all gratis. And uncontrollably gorgeous.
