If you haven't yet been turned onto the dubious delights of Atlanta ambient punks Deerhunter it's probably worth pursuing and it was a nice treat to find this edit of their track 'Octet' from last years 'Cryptograms' album in the inbox. I don't know anything about the background to this particular track only that it's a rework by Simian [...]

New Wax Atlanta's Deerhunter crafts beautifully damaged pop songs on their third full-length album Microcastle, which was just made available as a physical release (it's been on iTunes since August). The songs are roughed up with the same garage-rock aesthetic we'd come to expect from the band, but at its core, the album is more direct and contains less experimental art-noise. Cartoonish...

She captured these great images of Bradford Cox and crew, including one of Whitney of Deerhunter doubling as TNV's human keyboard stand.

The typhoon season is throwing fits somewhere that you don't hear yourself still singing year-old songs. What release to like songs when you can not make the words out or put them in context, comforting like snuggle bunnies and beer cozies in hard rain. You think Bradford Cox's saying,So long to the days you've come to know.So you had to get there on your own to wait to grow old.You're waiting ...

Photo by: Sergio Recabarren I really can't wait for that SMD release that features Beth Dito of The Gossip! In the meanwhile, The Fader uploaded yesterday a new remix. It took them a minute to figure out what Deerhunter song Simian Mobile Disco had edited, apparently they were tricked since Microcastle was officially released not too long ago. Turns out it is actually an edit of "Octet" fr...

This probably stems from my affinity for guitar effects on my own ax that make it sound like a space ship when I'm playing in the dark in my room imagining I'm in an arena playin...

My body sort of aches when I lie down. It isn't enough to complain about, I'm sure. I've known people who've been through more in their lifetimes. Getting a metal bar in your chest is probably not the most enjoyable thing to go through in your teenage years. It's good to have friends like that. People who have some sort of uncommon thing like Marfan's syndrome. You tell yourself having extre...
