I noticed that Deerhunter got rave reviews on Flavorpill and that inspired me to obtain a copy of Halcyon Digest. The Flavorpill review was spot on - this band is incredibly creative, mature, and confident in their approach, and yet they sustain a sense of playfulness and experimentalism. There are hints of inspirations here and there, mostly 60s artists, but they are there own band, not beholden to a particular genre or artist. Their music is very textural, layered, complex but seemingly simple. They can pull off slow tempo 'ballads' though I prefer their mid-tempo work. If you thought there was nothing new under the sun, you need to listen to this CD. Deerhunter goes to '11'.
Good CD...... definite alternative 90's feel. This band is influenced by everything from Sonic Youth to Beck..... but probably falls into the freak folk genre ultimately. Nice Buy!! Kind of CD where you discover a new song you like every few days.
