deerhunter

[bja1288]

one of the few 2000s era bands that i have really gotten into. what do you guys think of microcastle other than pitchfork hype band?

[celluloid_love]

i think these guys are pretty overrated but not bad

bradford cox's split 10" with cole alexander from the black lips is way way better than the deerhunter stuff.

[bja1288]

its not on whatcd : (

[celluloid_love]

i'll upload a track

[celluloid_love]

[Mooney]

i'm still waiting for a v0 of microcastle on what.cd

[bja1288]

i have a 256 kbps from the original leak - do you want me to up it? (no idea if it was transcode or not)

[celluloid_love]

you guys really care about the quality of mp3s? if you want to hear it in good quality, buy it..

Microcastle is readily becoming one of my favorite albums of 2008.

Some distortion on a few songs really reminds me of Smashing Pumpkins in their prime.

[BumbleBeeMouth]

he anorexic?

[bja1288]

the supposed bonus disc to microcastle, weird era cont, and the logos demos have both been found when someone got his mediafire link. i hope this was on purpose.

[Mo]

Microcastle was very okay. I like it.

[Shapan]

i like deerhunter but not that much

cryptograms is pretty cool

[threetwooneZERO]

I enjoy their music. Cryptograms was pretty good when it came out and I am really enjoying Microcastle.

I missed them a couple years ago in Detroit....but that video of them at Pitchfork sucked.

[davin]

i was pleasently surprised by both crytpograms and microcastles.

[Shapan]

i just listened to microcastle, on first listen i like it a lot more than cryptograms. this will probably end up being one of my favorite albums of the year. really different from cryptograms.

also heard weird era cont, pretty cool but closer to cryptograms and i prefer how microcastle is more straightforward.

and the mediafire account kicking around definitely wasnt on purpose, bradford cox threw a hissy fit about it.

[bja1288]

hissy fit to say the least. im all for openness but he needs to get thicker skin and do his own thing because when he does it is great. ignore the anonymous blog posts jesus christ.

[trev]

so - there is a band called deerhoof, and a band called deerhunter, and they have nothing to do with each other???

[bja1288]

yes, see: Crystal ___ bands

[Nidhogg]

Deerhunter is a great band, they deserve their hype. Cryptograms was one of my favorites last year, and Microcastle is my favorite album of this year so far.

Also a really big fan of Bradford's Atlas Sound stuff. Both are great live if you ever get the chance.

[bja1288]

side project: lotus plaza - the floodlight collective

atlas soundy but more accessible. microcastle fans prolly wont be too excited about it. maybe. last track is a standout, ill prolly end up liking this.
