Lockett Pundt, multi-instrumenatlist and songwriter for Deerhunter, has his debut solo album, The Floodlight Collective, coming out in March via Kranky. The album is a beautiful collection of sonic shoe-gaze pop, in which, each track adds to the murky waters of sound by which all Deerhunter cohorts seem permeated. This album has not escaped, and will continue, to draw comparisons with Bradford Cox's Atlas Sound, despite that the two artists sound surprisingly different. Cox seems to constantly be weighed down by the plague and drudgery of the every-day world (this is not a put down, but this is my opinion), where as Pundt chooses to illustrate a brighter, more magical, aspect of the world with his floating lyrics dripping from his lips like an ether meant to illuminate the world after a lengthy rain.
