Will try to hear this tonight, or tomorrow afternoon at the latest. Logos was sick.

Looking forward to it, though I have not been quite as fond of his Atlas Sound material as I have of Deerhunter albums.

Looking forward to it, though I have not been quite as fond of his Atlas Sound material as I have of Deerhunter albums.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[mikal]

i'd say this album has the most song structure of any of his Atlas Sound work. probably the most accessible. some of his best vocals for sure.

Walkabout > most Deerhunter songs IMO, though I would agree Microcastle and Halcyon Digest reign supreme.

Really loved Deerhunter live, Bradford Cox was ill but he fought through it and delivered a great performance. Does he have separate Atlas Sound tours?

 

[mikal]

I think they have separate tours. Not entirely sure though.

 

[mikal]

Bump because "Lightworks" is such a good song!

 

[LemonMelon]

Hmm. This is good, but a little sleepy. Not much about it jumped out on first listen, but Halcyon Digest had the same problem and I love that one now.

Reviews on this thing so far have been laudatory: 8.7 from Pitchfork and a 9 from PopMatters, for example.
