"Atlas Sound is the solo moniker of 25 year old Deerhunter frontman / provocateur Bradford Cox. It is also the earliest incarnation for his musical adventures...the genesis of this music can be traced back to when Bradford was a kid, more specifically when in sixth grade ; a time when he discovered through reading a Beck interview that his family’s disused karaoke machine could be used as a rudimentary multi-tracking device. Furthermore, the darker childhood experience of spending an entire summer on a children’s hospital ward undergoing operations also (understandably) plays a pivotal part in colouring his music. Bradford is everything with Atlas Sound and what you hear is a complex, expansive bedroom recording. Totally absorbed and working at a prolific rate, he channels a stream of consciousness, leaving the scorched beauty of his vocals raw and untreated. Bradford cites the “ideas that I can’t make work with a five piece rock band,” as the basis of his solo work and unrestricted, he makes a currently unparalleled meld of garage rock and ambient electronics."

Hooray Henry! is a solo project from Mackenzie of Thundrah. Mackenzie explains Hooray Henry thusly: "Started as a recording project in the summer of 2003 while house sitting the legendary Tarantula loft and cat-sitting the more legendary cats, Pol Suiteman and Bitey, for Mike Feurstack and Katie Ward. The cats pee'd on my clothes, the party girlz pouring out of the bars on lower St. Laurent kept me awake at night, and the result is pure art."
