Deerhunter‘s one of those acts that could be either hit or miss for me. I feel like I should hate them, and part of me leans in that direction, but they’re also one of the better in the expanding legions of laid-back indie folky bands that are all over the place nowadays. There’s a sort of sprawling, progressive nature to their sweeping arpeggios and power chords — the closest the band seems to be able to get to, uh, aggro, I guess. This is really more for fans of The Lovemakers and The Daysleepers, etc. Maybe Hammock. Point being: there’s something uniquely unsettling, aggressive…yet chill, relaxed, perfect for those lazy hazy days of summer, or days in general, where you just, y’know, don’t want to do anything. Then again, perhaps they’re just better left to explain it themselves on Red Bull Music Academy Radio.
