Biography

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), Josh McKay (bass, vocals) and Frankie Broyles (guitar, vocals).

The group began with the ambition of fusing the lulling hypnotic states induced by and music with the klang and propulsion of . The band has weathered chaotic line-up changes and the death of a member.

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.

    I just listened to the new album. I hate to sound like one of those "omg deerhunter sucks sooooo much now. their old stuff is better". BUT YO. their old stuff is way better. to me, "the missing" is definitely the raddest (wooo lockett) and I think "thm" is aight. not really thrilled with anything else right now...

    Pensacola sounds like something that was taken straight out of a Strokes album.

    I think this is music for, like, white people who have never had anything bad happen to them. They decided to rebel against their parents by making even softer rock. These guys were like,That music in the elevators is too balls out for us.

    What a a dull and overrated band. Monomania is probably their worst record.
