Irremovable from his art is his physical condition (Marfan Syndrome) and this reality is at the forefront of his work. Recorded at home, Let the Blind is a personal record, one that that challenges criteria for self-worth, and this quality is accentuated by Cox’s knack for letting specific sonic ideas reverberate into something vivid and powering. “I’m waiting to be changed,” he repeats in “Quarantined” as the lyric gains awesome momentum with each reiteration. With seamless flow, the tracks weave into one another finishing with the instrumental title-track – a hazy, alluring backdrop with a continuous arpeggio. At its heart, Let the Blind is a deeply humanist record that refuses conventional social stigmas, repudiates the superficial, and demands truth and meaning from itself and others. --Michael Cranston read more »]]> http://www.thefader.com/2009/01/05/let-the-blind-lead-those-who-can-see-but-cannot-feel-2/feed/ 1 http://www.thefader.com/2008/06/02/freeload-animal-collective-s-micromixes-for-bradford-cox/ http://www.thefader.com/2008/06/02/freeload-animal-collective-s-micromixes-for-bradford-cox/#comments Mon, 02 Jun 2008 13:00:00 +0000 THE FADER read more »]]> http://www.thefader.com/2008/06/02/freeload-animal-collective-s-micromixes-for-bradford-cox/feed/ 0
