Tomorrow Never Knows brought the talents of Bradford Cox (Deerhunter) under the guise of his solo project, Atlas Sound, back to Chicago for the second time in three months.

Shapers offered well-orchestrated noise that shined live and the Icy Demons countered with bright, keyboard-focused melodies that could have been the soundtrack to any one of our childhood skateboard adventures. Both acts were strong in their respective suits, but it was Bradford Cox who commanded attention in a performance that was personal, professional and heartbreaking. more ›
