TUNE TO HEAR pt 8

Halcyon Digest was just released on September 28th 2010 from American indie-rock band Deerhunter. This being their fourth studio album, it is interesting to look back; as a group they have progressed a lot from their very first album "Turn it up Faggot" released in 2005. An album, that to say the least was little more than noise. In 2008, they released Microcastle, a surreal collection of dream like melodies and angry post- punk instruments. Since then they have developed a sound categorized under several genres from punk-rock to ambient. This new album proves a little more sustainability with easy going tracks like "Revival" and "Desire Lines". About the title, vocalist Bradford Cox stated "The album's title is a reference to a collection of fond memories and even invented ones, like my friendship with Ricky Wilson or the fact that I live in an abandoned victorian autoharp factory. The way that we write and rewrite and edit our memories to be a digest version of what we want to remember, and how that's kind of sad."
