There are a few bands in this world that can do no wrong in my eyes. One of them is Atlanta's Deerhunter , being headed by the most prolific songwriting duo since, well, maybe ever (Burt Bacharach and Hal David?). What I like about the Bradford Cox / Lockett Pundt songwriting partnership is that they let each other exist, nurture each other's independence, and support the band's collaborative creative growth. Most of all, they don't appear to take themselves too seriously at all, the key to anyone's affability . Let me just start off by saying [...]
Deerhunterin uudelta levyltä osasi odottaa Revival -singlen ja Helicopter -videon perusteella paljon. 27. syyskuuta ilmestyvä Halcyon Digest lunastaa odotukset ja kamppailee sekä vuoden parhaan että vuoden parhaimman kuuloisen levyn tittelistä. Levyn yleisilme on edellistä onnistunutta Microcastle -levyä (2008) jossain määrin seesteisempi ja surumielisempi. Junnaavat riffittelyt ja nopeammat kappaleet ovat paria poikkeusta lukuun ottamatta jätetty pois. Mukana on toki edelleen rutkasti kaiutettua ja tuplattua lofi-laulua ja kerrostettuja kitaroita. NPR pyörittää parhaillaan levyä: KUUNTELE HALCYON DIGEST @ NPR Ohessa pikaisia [...]

I'm not really sure what I can say about Deerhunter , Atlas Sound (Bradford Cox), or Lotus Plaza (Lockett Pundt) that I haven't already said. There are only so many times you can use words like "prolific", "sublime", and "progressive" without sounding like a canned fan. I have already commented about how I think the Cox / Pundt partnership has already flourished into one of the most fruitful meetings of musical minds. Deerhunter is more than just their partnership, though, with Joshua Fauver and Moses Archuleta coming together in the recording of Halcyon Digest, which, in signature style has [...]
Live solo debut from Deerhunter guitarist Lockett Pundt's Lotus Plaza oozes with slow pop and blissfully noisy melodies
Deerhunter's guitarist Lockett Pundt released his first full-length album The Floodlight Collective back in March on Kranky records and I'm just now getting around to it. Floodlight is masterfully saturated with layers upon layers of sounds and atmospheres, topped off with Pundt's light vocal work to create a pretty impressive collection of shoegaze greatness. I [...]

Image by Mike White | Deadlydesigns.com via Flickr Deerhunter have been on my mind a lot lately, and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone. I listened to Microcastle the other day after refraining for awhile. I was cleaning the kitchen and I needed motivation. "Nothing Ever Happened" provided more than enough of a booster-charge to make me forget about my chores, and the rest, while all over the map in terms of tempo and temperament, did the trick as well. [...]
in a space of three short years, the staggering output of deerhunter and its affiliate acts has thoroughly infiltrated the fragmented psyche of indie music (if such a category makes any sense at all). 2007 was the year most of us got our first glimpse of the band with its post-shoegaze cryptograms album and the impressive follow-up fluorescent grey ep, which boasted a title track invoking the rotting corpse of david baker's mercury rev. showing no sign of slowing down, 2008 saw the consolidation of the hegemonic grip of the band, which started the [...]

It's no secret that Bradford Cox, head man of Atlas Sound , is a genius. That's right, a genius. Over the years, Deerhunter was created with the help of his friend Lockett Pundt, who is the dude behind the more recent Lotus Plaza . The bands release of Cryptograms and the Fluorescent Grey EP back in 2007 rocket launched their names into the musicoblogosphere, bringing the indie music scene with a post-punk contemporary psychedelic ambient sound, a perfect blend of both Cox and Pundt's individual efforts. Deerhunter releases their [...]
Lotus Plaza is the side project of Deerhunter guitarist Lockett Pundt and he will release The Floodlight Collective on March 24th via Kranky Records . Check out the lead-off track "Red Oak Way"... Red Oak Way - Lotus Plaza [...]
Lotus Plaza - Sunday Night From the solo debut of Deerhunter's Lockett Pundt, this is a dreamy take on vintage American r&b and doo-wop much in the same vein as bandmate Bradford Cox's solo act, Atlas Sound . The album as a whole blends together elements of glitch and shoegaze in a hypnotic, ethereal aesthetic best described ( elsewhere ) as "squinting into the haze". The track These Years, for example, does a particularly good job of channelling the echo chamber effect of the Boards of Canada classic, Olsen. The album, The Floodlight Collective , is [...]
Οι Deerhunter ήταν σαφώς ένα από τα ονόματα που σημάδεψαν τη χρονιά του 2008. Ο τραγουδιστής τους Bradford Cox , ο οποίος εξελίσσεται σε μια από τις σημαντικότερες μορφές της νέας ανεξάρτητης αμερικανικής σκηνής ήταν βέβαια αυτός που συγκέντρωσε πάνω του τα περισσότερα βλέμματα, καθώς κυκλοφόρησε κι ένα ακόμη άλμπουμ, με το solo project του Atlas Sound . Όπως συμβαίνει λοιπόν στα περισσότερα σπουδαία συγκροτήματα τα τελευταία χρόνια, οι σημαντικές μορφές μέσα στο συγκρότημα είναι [τουλάχιστον] δύο μέσα στους Deerhunter, και η έτερη μορφή είναι ο κιθαρίστας Lockett Pundt , ο οποίος ηχογράφησε και κυκλοφορεί [...]
