Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest poll

He would have laughed was robbed hardest

this is what happens when i listen to this album:

Earthquake
Don't Cry
Revival
Sailing
Memory Boy
Desire Lines
Desire Lines
Desire Lines
Desire Lines
Desire Lines
Desire Lines
Desire Lines
Desire Lines
Desire Lines

for real, that outro is just terrific. is the rest of lockett's stuff anything like that? lotus plaza?

anyway, if you're a desire lines head, this is a great version that i was obsessed with for awhile

i think i forgot to vote, but i would've voted for that one

Yeah, the biggest surprise was 0 votes for that one. "Revival" didn't stand a chance here, but I think it deserved a vote

Great video of Desire Lines. This set also has a version of it, with added backing vocals by Bradford.

i mistakenly remembered this as the D in GAPDY but it's from a year later

global: Lotus Plaza's Spooky Action at a Distance is excellent. And yeah, it's all pretty much like "Desire Lines" ... not all *that* great (tho some is comparable, I would say), but it generally sounds like that.

I love Monomania - it seemed well-reviewed at the time, but eventually it became apparent that few others had the same enthusiasm for it. It's like Deerhunter/Cox fell out of favor with a lot of people beginning with that album.

it's a really murky album in comparison to Halcyon Digest, where every song is very hook-based.

xp thanks alpine! love that album title too

really enjoying this record, but anticipating the almost 7-minute track later on, i need that ~cosmic outro~ shit badly
