Bradford Cox Gives Away Not One, Not Two, But Three Albums...For Free!

The frontman for Deerhunter has definitely been bitten by the Santa bug. Often releasing music under his solo pseudonym Atlas Sound, Bradford Cox has given away three full length albums in the past three days via the Deerhunter blog. Named Bedroom Databank Vol. 1, Vol. 2 and Vol. 3, there is no indication if there is more to come or if this the early signs of a series. Of course, the sheer magnitude of the output is awe inspiring. According to the given information, most of the tracks have been recorded in past several days at Chez de Cox.  What makes the project even more impressive is the quality of most of what could be perceived as "inspired noodling". A lot of the tracks could be demos or instrumental versions of songs for a full length release and feel like outtakes from sessions for his two previous Atlas Sound albums. There does not seem to be a common thread or a differing style between the three LP's. Volume 1 features covers of Kurt Vile and Bob Dylan's (and TV's Absolutely Fabulous theme) "This Wheel's On Fire". Volume 2 finishes out with an 11-minute jam "Here Comes The Train". Volume 3, by comparison, has a bit of a clearinghouse feel. Nevertheless the whole mess is free, so grab it while the links are still available and start cherrypicking.
