Deerhunter - Microcastle

Sorry for the lack of posts, been busy with school and I've been enlisted for Kids On A Holiday. This next band is called Deerhunter, and they rule.

The intro of the album reminds me of Flaming Lips in their Soft Bulletin days. But then the album kicks in and it's almost like a mellow version of the Lips in their older days mixed with the newer stuff. It's very shoegaze-y and post-punk-y. But it's a very enjoyable listen. I especially enjoy the tracks, "Nothing Ever Happened" and "Cavalry Scars." The lead singer is a guy named Bradford Cox and he looks unhealthy and haggard. But nonetheless, he is a genius.

A very good album. It comes with a bonus disc (Weird Era Cont.)that I didn't include here because it's almost a different entity (and not as good in my opinion).
