Great sound explorations - [09 Jul 2009]
Deerhunter's new album "Microcastle" is quite a departure from its predecessor "Cryptograms." The reason that this album is a departure is because it is a lot more immediate than their previous works. The album starts off with ambient sounds on "Cover...

Deerhunter II Electric Boogaloo... - [25 Jun 2009]
Pitchfork gushed over this album, and while there are some tremendous cuts, Bradford Cox meanders along too many lulls and psychedelic paths. There are middle stretches that just don't rock. All is not lost, however. The track "Nothing Ever Happened" ...

Overrated - [13 Feb 2009]
I snatched this album up since every critic was calling it the album of the year. My opinion: overrated. It's decent, but it's the type of CD you might get into for the year and eventually you forget you own it and it collects dust or stays off your playlists...

One of the best albums ever... - [08 Feb 2009]
Wow, this album is so amazing. What I love about Deerhunter's Microcastle is the fluidity. As opposed to Cryptograms (which don't get me wrong, I do like it), Microcastle seems like it has a purpose and a smoother transition of songs. DH seem to have ...

An excellent intro to American shoegaze - [06 Jan 2009]
Deerhunter is not for everyone. But if you can handle a noisy and not always clean and neat sound, I would highly recommend this album. What I find most enjoyable is the way that they simply let a chord or riff repeat and gradually reveal its inherent...

Ambitious and satisfying - [02 Jan 2009]
Let me state a couple of things upfront: (1) I am still catching up on some of the good/great albums from 2008 that I haven't really had a chance to really listen to in depth until recently; and (2) I would not have known about this album but for the ...

Drone, density, sensitivity, fragility - [28 Nov 2008]
I liked "Cryptograms" PIL-type assaults better than its bliss-out comedown tracks. This new CD may, therefore, please listeners who favor the softer side, akin more to Bradford Cox's solo project Atlas Sound. Since I love shoegazing, "Microcastles" satisfied...

GREAT ALBUM!!! BEST RELEASE OF THE YEAR!!! - [03 Nov 2008]
Since 2001, Deerhunter - co-founded by Bradford Cox and Moses Archuleta - have produced three LPs and four EPs worth of astonishing "ambient punk" (their own description), picking up devotees and different musicians along the way. Their mantra - "To achieve...
