Sony Apologizes to Bradford Cox for Deleting His Online Recordings
The key part to note here: Deerhunter is not actually signed to a Sony-affiliated label. Oops! It appears that this was a case of the misdirected takedown notice. We love Deerhunter’s newest album Halycon Digest by the way, especially the songs “Coronado” and “Helicopter.”
Label giant Sony Music took the liberty of deleting four of Bradford Cox’s MP3 albums he posted on Deerhunter’s blog last week inexplicably. Now, they’ve apologized.“Apparently Sony Music Owns my bedroom,” Cox said at the news of the initial interruption. The label removed the Atlas Sound home recording files, Bedroom Databank Vol. 1-4, without consulting Cox. Not to mention that neither Cox, Atlas Sound or Deerhunter is on a Sony-affiliated label. “Feel free to call or email and let them know what you think,” Cox advised fans.
