new music - deerhunter



like my previous post about Sigur Rós, Deerhunter wasn't really my thing. I saw them play with Grizzly Bear when they came through town last fall, and I had one of those "oh ok, I get it now" moments. But, it was still hard for me to return to their recorded material. That is, until I heard Agoraphobia. It's amazing, as is the rest of the record. Sonically, the band seems to have given up on the drone-vibe that kind of turned me off initially, instead using a lot more pop melodies. Check out the track and see just how great it really is.
