Deerhunter Are Gaining Power

Have you ever felt like you're the only one who gets it in regards to a band? Like you're the only one who really knows how good a band are and your attempts to convert your friends are met with rolled eyes and sarcasm? Truthfully, this has only happened once to me and it's with Deerhunter. I still haven't figured out what's not to like. Their...

Deerhunter — Microcastle/Weird Era Cont.

Bradford Cox did a peculiar thing this summer. Upset that his first magnum opus, Microcastle, leaked to the internet in the spring, Cox and the rest of Deerhunter put together a second record called Weird Era Cont. The result is two discs that move in completely opposite directions, but work surprisingly well in tandem. Microcastle is a rock...

Deerhunter — Cryptograms

If Atlanta (also home to The Black Lips) is the new Texas (the new U.S. home of indie rock), then Deerhunter are its At The Drive-in. It just feels like something this good can't possibly last. Given that guitarist Colin Mee quit and then rejoined the band in the fall, it probably won't. The quintet had two significant releases in 2007 — this and...

Deerhunter Might Be Thin, But Their Sound Ain't

My ears are still humming and I'm in a bit of a daze. I can't get 'em to stop and it may be my own fault, but right now I couldn't care less because, on Wednesday night, Deerhunter decimated Lee's Palace in the best possible way. Maybe it was the ominous clouds or the endless caterwauling about impending rain, but the show was shockingly under-...

Deerhunter, Spoon Are Pleasant Live

The trip to the Sound Academy is always a bit of... well, a trip. Easing out into the industrial wasteland that is Cherry Street below Lakeshore Boulevard is like driving through Detroit after sundown, and like Detroit it looks better with the lights out. That drive/walk/bike ride always adds a certain "Je ne sais quoi" to the...

Deerhunter Lulled Me To Sleep

My girlfriend is a Deerhunter fan, so I figured I'd go with her to see the band play Toronto's Lee's Palace last night. I can't say I had a terrible time, but at one point they actually put me to sleep. I enjoyed opening act Braids (formerly known as The Neighbourhood Council). They play an interesting blend of experimental rock and shoegaze,...

Deerhunter Avoid Blogger Comments

There are few more unusual interviewees than Deerhunter and Atlas Sound frontman Bradford Cox. He's about as willing to do a properly structured interview as he is to evenly portion the music he releases. This year alone, Cox has released a well-received Atlas Sound record (and accidentally leaked another one on the internet) and an acclaimed...
