- Its release follows a set of eight new songs at a festival.

## Summary

Bradford Cox has released “Octoberland”, the first new song in 15 years under his solo project Atlas Sound, alongside a music video he directed. The release follows a surprise return to the stage at Philadelphia’s Making Time ∞ festival, where Cox debuted an eight-song set of new material.

Cox, the frontman of Deerhunter, had not performed live since 2019, aside from an impromptu noise set in Athens, Georgia, in 2023. Atlas Sound released three albums between 2008 and 2011, with music that leaned more on sampling and wall-of-sound pop than Deerhunter’s shoegaze and krautrock.
