Deerhunter: Lockett Pundt, Joshua Fauver, Bradford Cox, Moses Archuleta. When the intriguing CRYPTOGRAMS appeared in 2007, it established Deerhunter as a band to watch on the experimental indie rock scene. But the promise suggested by CRYPTOGRAMS' sonic pastiches and intriguing textures truly came to fruition on 2008's MICROCASTLE, which finds the band creating hooks and song structures as entrancing as their murky, mind-altering noise. The group's deconstructionist rock approach might seem like it would make an uneasy bedfellow with melody-focused popcraft, but it's just this tension that makes tunes like "Never Stops" and "Nothing Ever Happened" so enjoyable. MICROCASTLE's debt to 1960s psych pop is the perfect canvas for the Deerhunter's trippy atmospheres, and the result is lush, aurally absorbing, and a step forward for one of rock's most unique voices. |
