monomania is my fave of his albums tbh

He also sez Stereolab's "Blue Milk" is the greatest song of all time. I like it, yeah. Greatest? I dunno.

He says Desire Lines is his favourite Deerhunter song, which is magnificently otm - it's the only thing they've done that's completely blown me away and transcended what I thought the band capable of

This album is really, really good

I’ve listened to this three times now. I like it but it’s just sort of an average Deerhunter album. Nothing surprising nor extraordinarily compelling. Solid, I guess.

Cannot get 'What Happens to People' out of my brain

'Elemental' has a real 'Let England Shake' (the album) vibe

the rest is microcastle with piano + LES lyric vibes

desire lines is their best for sure

except for the length it's indistinguishable from guided by voices. there's even a lyrical nod to "echos myron"

this is fine. i feel like all their albums after Halcyon have been a bit samey though and thisi isn't an exception.

Keeping my fingers crossed that snow either doesn't fall here tomorrow or is light because DEERHUNTER ARE COMING TO BMORE

BMore show sold out before I could get tix . Live in DC area but couldn’t make DC gig the night before that I heard was good but deafeningly loud.

Uhh..

“During the set, Bradford Cox started a dialogue with a heckler accusing him of cultural appropriation because he said he’s a huge fan of Twin Peaks, and he said was planning on staying in North Bend at the Salish Lodge that night so that he could explore Snoqualmie the next day.”
I fail to see how this is cultural appropriation...?

Exactly.

i'm not sure what thread to bump for this, and i haven't listened enough to start a new thread and proselytize, but i've been listening to a lot of Ulrika Spacek recently (just their album Modern English Decoration - haven't even gotten to their other stuff) and it's very good. there's an early deerhunter-y vibe to some of the songs and i feel confident throwing a RIYL deerhunter tag on there, even though there are other strong influences as well

which*
realized it's way past time I put together mixes for my two favorite bands (Girlpool next), figured I'd share
1. Game of Diamonds2. Futurism3. Duplex Planet4. Memory Boy5. Microcastle6. Vox Celeste7. Strange Lights8. Dream Captain9. Revival10. River Card11. Pensacola12. Eveningness
13. Like New14. Parallax15. Helicopter16. Nothing Ever Happened17. The Missing18. Criminals19. Take Care20. What Happens to People?21. Doldrums22. Cover Me (Slowly)23. Agoraphobia
felt incomplete without some (4) Atlas Sound & a (1) Lotus Plaza. an earlier version (that I've already road tripped with, therefore official?) had "Mona Lisa" instead of "Parallax," there's no good way to not overrepresent that album

i was thinking of deerhunter/bradford cox today, and how it's been a minute since i heard anything from them. i did some light searching, found speculation on reddit that cox is just kind of taking it easy/doesn't feel like playing music lately (the spoon guy suggested as much in an interview a while back). but also, he returned earlier this year for an improv experimental set in athens:

Covid considered, they are not too much behind their typical album cycle. I’m friendly with Lockett and the last time I saw him he said they are still planning to continue being a band. Bradford has always had health problems, so I think it might just be a pause.
