Album is streaming on NPR:

First Listen: Deerhunter, 'Monomania' : NPR

 

[iron yuppie]

Sweet.

It's so fucking fun. Good on them for making an album like this after releasing their tidiest record to date.

 

[iron yuppie]

Listening to Microcastle for the first time in a while right now, and I had forgotten how strong it is. The thing flows incredibly well with the shorter, interlude-like tracks binding the longer, more fleshed-out songs together. Thinking about it now, the Cryptograms-Microcastle-Halcyon Digest trilogy is one of the better runs indie rock has seen in the last decade.

Wow, that production is trashy. Gonna take some getting used to. It sounds like they took box knives to the speaker cones on their amps.

 

[Danny Boy]

Yep, filthy. Love it.

 

[u2popmofo]

You guys were right, this album is a lot of fun. Will definitely be buying it ASAP.

 

[u2popmofo]

I'm really enjoying this album. What are you favorite songs, guyz?

 

[LemonMelon]

The Missing is the best, but Dream Captain is stupid fun.

 

[nielsgov]

Mono-Monomania is the best. Other good ones are T.H.M., Blue Agent and Sleepwalking.

 

[iron yuppie]

The Missing and Monomania, though I like that opening duo as well.

 

[IWasBored]

The beginning sounds like the centipede album(or as much of it as I could listen to without wanting to slaughter kittens) from last year, but less annoying. I almost like it. The missing is good.

 

[the tourist]

Pensacola, Dream Captain, and Sleepwalking are my early favorites.

 

[Danny Boy]

Pensacola

I'm recognizing some of the songs they played live when I saw them a couple of weeks ago. They definitely did Pensacola and Monomania, pretty sure they did The Missing, and I think they also may have done Dream Captain. I'll probably think it was cool in another month, but at the time, I was resenting the heavy emphasis on the new stuff.

 

[iron yuppie]

Got tickets for these blokes in September. Given their history of erratic behavior at gigs, I'm looking forward to an exciting show.

 

[Danny Boy]

This first track from the new Deerhunter album is available on Apple Music.

Fading Frontier is out 10/16.

 

[gump]

Nice. Not sure how many times these guys can reinvent their sound, but this seems to be another attempt based on the first song.

 

[iron yuppie]

Plenty of good shit coming in the next few months.

 

[cobl04]

Here's a band I've never enjoyed at all. Love the guitarist's solo work though!

Oops. Missed this thread as I posted a link to the video in RMT.

Song's good but unspectacular. I am excited about the album though.

Wish it was a Lotus Plaza album but I'll take it.

So ive finally discovered these guys on spotify... Holy shit.

This has been missing from my life.

Welcome to 2007, Gickies.

 

[iron yuppie]

Great band, and easily one of the most consistent going right now. There's not a single weak point in their discography, and the range of styles they have already covered is impressive.

 

[mikal]

That and it spawned off Lotus Plaza's "Spooky Action" album which is by far the best album of all time.

Welcome to 2007, Gickies.

A pleasure to be here!

 

[u2popmofo]

I might listen to all of their albums this weekend. I might even listen to Lotus Plaza and Atlas Sound. I might forget and not listen to any of them. I might do a lot of things.

While this thread is bumped, I want to take the opportunity to express my love for this song:
