This is a no-nonsense EP without the tripyness of Cryptograms or the epic grandness of Microcastles. This is straightforward pop from Bradford and friends. It has aspects of Wall of Sound production and early R.E.M. My favorite song is "Disappaering Ink".
How is that possible? This is the best band that I've heard (admittedly, there is plenty that I haven't heard) recently. Dreamy, trippy pop-gems. What more could you ask for?
This is a damn good EP. In terms of quality, it's up there with Bon Iver's 'Blood Bank'. Great five tracks, but you can find the first and last track outside of emusic for free.
OK this is the first Deerhunter I have ever downloaded. I have been listening for a week or so and .... I dig it! It hasn't changed my life or anything but I like their sound and the songs are interesting and a few are really good! Had to think about whether it was a 3 star or 4 star, but its melodies keep getting stuck in my head so I suppose that makes it 4-star worthy.
Once again, Emusic/artist/record label turn their backs on their fan base by barring them from purchasing music online. Makes you wonder, doesn't it!
Give these guys credit – at worst, they seem capable of only putting out above-average material. More good stuff here.
If you like Deerhunter you'll probably like the whole thing and find a few standouts. For me so far it's #5 with the New Order-y guitar, but I like the whole thing.
