Bradford James Cox (born May 15, 1982) is an American singer-songwriter and musician, best known as the lead singer and guitarist of the indie rock band Deerhunter. He also pursues a solo career under the moniker Atlas Sound.[6]

Cox formed Deerhunter with Paul Harper and Dan Walton in 2001. The band has released eight studio albums along with several singles and EPs. Atlas Sound is a name Cox has used since he was ten to refer to his own music. Cox has released three full-length productions under this name. Let the Blind Lead Those Who Can See but Cannot Feel (2008), Logos (2009), and Parallax (2011). Cox's method of creating music is stream of consciousness, and he does not write lyrics in advance.[7]

He made his film acting debut in 2013's Dallas Buyers Club.[8]
