Bradford Cox plays acoustic set with mad FX pedals, zany winter hat

Bradford Cox of the hit bands ‘Atlas Sound’ and ‘The Deerhunter, alone in the forest’ played what seems to be an acoustic set. In order to move away from the traditional ‘acoustic guitar bro’ vibe, you can see that he utilized a ’sick pedal board’, loaded with tons of crazy effects.
In an effort to further differentiate his on-stage brand, he wore a sillie winter hat. Wearing a harmonica also makes him seem like a ‘conceptual Bob Dylan.’
Do pedal boards help to build a ‘deeper sound?
Or are you more into ‘bro in coffee shop’ vibe of an untuned, raw guitar?
Will Atlas Sound ever ‘chart’ in the Billboard top 10, and if he doesn’t will his career be viewed as a ‘monumental failure’?

This show sucks. Its like watching Bradford Cox masturbate while looking at himself in the mirror, with effects pedals for hands.

‘The Tallest Bro On Earth’ is the true Dylan wannabe, imo.

Mr. Cox is doing stuff way more interesting than 99% of all the new indie, pitchfork, “neon” whatever hipster garbage out there right now. So what’s the problem? I think this is great. Why does everything always have to be compared to something else? And if you’re going to compare, that’s the easy way out by choosing Dylan. He’s not the only person to have ever worn a hat and played harmonica. Can’t this just be taken for face value. Also, who the fuck cares what he’s wearing and if he makes billboard? You people are fucking tools and this site is disgusting. md
