The Word On... Parallax, Atlas Sound

"The songs are sublimely tuneful... There are no blasts of noise here, no eruptions of dissonance; moments of reverb-cocooned atmosphere exist only to better resolve into triumphant hooks. It's a brilliant feat: to make a record about distance, Bradford Cox has written the most effortlessly approachable music of his career." avclub.com

"It wins you over with the sheer strength of its material. Every song here skillfully walks the line between being meticulously crafted and appealingly loose." tinymixtapes.com

"'Parallax' feels like a more complete work than any other Atlas Sound record, with the differences between the songs less distinct and everything flowing together more naturally." pitchfork.com
