Atlanta, Georgia, United States (2001 – present)
Deerhunter is a band which formed in 2001 in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. The band consists of Bradford Cox (vocals, guitar, piano), Moses Archuleta (drums, synths), Lockett Pundt (guitar, organ, vocals) and Josh Fauver (bass, vocals).
The group began 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, the death of a member, and much discouragement.
Cryptograms was the second full-length offering from Deerhunter, and their first for Kranky. The album took almost two years to finish and was the product of emotional, physical, and financial strain on the group. The result is an album that finds the band shifting from discordant catharsis, and forming a sonic identity that completely expresses the place from which they have arrived. The first half of the album was recorded first unsuccessfully in 2005. These recordings were a blur at best, wordless and bordering on psychological atrophy. The sessions failed to provide anything tangible, and were racked with technical and personal problems, including out-of-tune pianos, panic attacks, and a tape machine that seemed to fail to capture the full spectrum of ambience the band was exploring.
The band returned home, having failed, and considered giving up.

Greene, I'm also excited about Deerhunter releasing something every other fall, especially as it has coincided with No Age releases a couple of times. It's always a nice one-two punch for me.

that interview actually just reminded me of one of my favorite things about deerhunter: they release a new record every other autumn. really excited to see what they're up to this year. I feel like their records have gotten less and less cohesive as the band has progressed (but they're still incredibly good!), but the individual songwriting has become increasingly stellar, so I'm expecting some fantastic songwriting this time around (maybe better than Nothing Ever Happened, He Would Have Laughed, Revival, Desire Lines, Twilight at Carbon Lake, Spring Hall Convert, etc.)!

Bradford is like Billy Corgan, shoegaze guitars + simple compositions = perfect music. This and Atlas Sound are my favorites atm.
