Deerhunter began in 2001 with the ambition of fusing the lulling
hypnotic states induced by ambient and minimalist music with the klang
and propulsion of garage rock. The band has weathered chaotic line-up
changes and the death of a member, finally releasing last year’s genre
bending ambient-punk document, Cryptograms. Fusing the lush shoegaze of
My Bloody Valentine with the freak-out guitar structures of Sonic Youth
their sound is one not easily described, nor pigeon-holed, and this is
what makes what can only be termed their ‘sonic identity’ so alluring.
Maybe Drowned In Sound can help out here:
“An undulating patchwork of attention-deficit kraut-punk squalls and
intoxicating and enveloping sound collages that sweep the listener up in
a broad clutch, a giant’s palm, taking them on a journey through their
own misfiring synapses; it’s soul-infused and passionate, born from
hearts troubled and minds razor-sharp.” Drowned In Sound
Support comes from one of the pick Brooklyn’s current crop of uber cool
bands High Places.
The hypnotic tropical universe of this duo layers bursts of starry pop
psychedelia with bass-heavy poly-rhythms, glistening astral reverb and
singer Mary Pearson's innocent vocals.
