Microcastle / Weird Era Cont, Deerhunter
Ah the internet. What a cruel bitch.
Atlanta Georgia's Deerhunter rose to notoriety thanks in part to bloggers worldwide raving about last year's CRYPTOGRAMS and their incendiary live show. They became cult favorites, and outspoken lead singer/songwriter Bradford Cox became an unlikely - though well deserved - indie rock cover boy.
Vivian Girls
In addition to sharing the name of one of Melbourne's finest bygone groups, Brooklyn's Vivian Girls sound Australian in other Chapter Music / best indie senses. The trio's head-first, shambling delivery couches a classic handling of melody reminiscent of QLD greats, Small World Experience, and there's a joy of fuzz and bubblegum sentiment reminiscent of Adelaide's Hit the Jackpot and Lindsey Low Hand.
Fluorescent Grey
Deerhunter’s FLUORESCENT GREY EP is the dream existential suicide, insofar as you can commit it / listen to it more than once. There are only four songs, but each is a chemically lucid vignette of hazy psych-sex. Saturated in the sounds of transcendental death, the record plays out as an extended epiphany as good as the calm part of drowning’s meant to be.
