Cox met his collaborator and best friend, Lockett Pundt, in high school. He started recording on a cassette karaoke machine in 1994 when he was in sixth grade. He has used the name "Atlas Sound" since then, as it was the name of the company that manufactured the tape machine. Cox has also recorded as part of other bands, such as the short lived "Wet Dreams", an all-girl garage/noise band in which he played drums. He also recorded several tracks on the Black Lips second album We Did Not Know the Forest Spirit Made the Flowers Grow, playing drums on the song Notown Blues from that album.

Logos
Atlas Sound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Always under the bed
Spirits floating in the night
Will they ever find their way?
Logos is the king of life
Who gives us the drive
We need to stay
Always drives us away
Spirits floating in the night
Will they ever find their way?
Spirits floating in the night
Will they ever find their way?
Spirits floating in the night
Will they ever find their way?
Logos is the king of life
Fights away all decay
Everything was bathed in light
Everything loved it's way
Everything makes sense when you
Look at it from another way
Logos is the king of life
Leads away decay
Logos is the king of life
Fights away all that decay
Spirits drifting in the night
Will they ever find their way?
In Atlas Sound's song "Logos," the titular character is portrayed as "the king of life" who is always present but hidden "under the bed." It's unclear who or what Logos is, but the lyrics suggest that he gives people the drive they need to keep going and fight away decay. The repeated refrain of "spirits floating in the night, will they ever find their way?" adds an eerie quality to the song, as if these spirits are lost and searching for something they may never find.
