Deerhunter
Bradford Cox, the lanky frontman and curious creative force behind Deerhunter, has done it again. Upping the ante laid down by the 2007 achievement Cryptograms, Cox and Co. drop Microcastle which includes a second bonus disc - Weird Era Cont.! Though perhaps Cox's fascination for '50s and '60s pop is present and palpable, the Joey Ramones-y freak show seems to take a back seat on this rather psychedelic musical journey through reverb-heavy, post-punk, droney acid-dripping rock n' roll. Guitarist Lockett Pundt takes lead vocal responsibilities on "Agoraphobia" and bassist Josh Fauver wrote most of standout "Nothing Ever Happened." Nonetheless, the Atlanta psych-rock quintet takes giant strides with their newest sunlit noise-rock masterpiece.
