　　　Deerhunter的主音歌手Bradford James Cox化名，1982年出生於喬治亞州的雅典市，患有先天性基因變異的馬凡氏症(Marfan Syndrome)罕病。某個聖誕節Bradford的家人買了一台卡匣式伴唱機，荒廢許久直到12歲的Bradford開始使用這台機器為靈感創作音樂，即播放一捲帶子到一音軌上，再插上擴音器錄到前一音軌中結合，那時他為自己取名Atlas Sound，取自某專事生產大批磁帶播錄音機的廠牌。Bradford對自己最初的創作定位在10歲，當時的小Bradford已會將敲打鍋子之類的聲響錄下來。年輕時深受一些Doop-Woop與噪音車庫女子樂團的影響，高中時的愛團是Stereolab。 　　　2007年著手錄製個人首張專輯「Let the Blind Lead Those Who Can See but Cannot Feel」，翌年先後分由美國獨立廠牌Kranky與歐洲的4AD發行，此張專輯也找來Deerhunter的吉他主音Lockett Pundt。在"Ice As Cold"中伴奏。作品裡的音樂全程以電腦錄製，利用音樂軟體將樂器聲效予以紀錄在內。他解釋這是一張意識流的專輯，自傳式的歌詞反映許多他個人過往的經歷，如"Recent Bedroom"說的是小時候某個親人的離世經驗，儘管大人們對小Bradford噤聲，獨自在房裡的Bradford仍感受得到充斥在房間外的低靡氛圍漫延，因而悲傷籠罩心頭。又或者"Bite Marks"百無禁忌地觸及自身的同性經驗，在某訪問Bradford談及對方曾在他的肩頭留下封印似的咬痕，讓他對於施/受虐的性有不同以往的觀感，即使回憶不見得美好，但始終是成長的一部分，此作對他個人而言有著強烈的療效感受。特別的是有幾首歌詞是關於Lockett(即Lotus Plaza)，整張也是獻給他的，Bradford對於Lockett的迷戀可見一班，高中時Bradford因組團透過友人延攬Lockett Pundt為Deerhunter草創班底。 　　　談到獨創，Bradford認為solo與樂團中的不同在於，某些構想是無法和團體一起分享參與的，Deerhunter的音樂寫完後便照例按部就班接著錄製，然而他個人的作品只有在錄音當下才會被激盪應運而生。 Bradford/Deerhunter與Lotus Plaza的共同blog Brad常不定期的丟一些專輯以外的歌曲習作或翻唱以供下載， 錯過的樂迷可前往搜寶，可找到許多demo、限量ep之類的罕作 http://deerhuntertheband.blogspot.com/ .
