Deerhunter - Desire Lines

"Desire Lines" is the latest masterpiece from a band that just can't learn to take a break.

There will be a lot of comparisons to "Nothing Ever Happened", and I think that's perfectly all right. "Desire Lines" has the same formula, a slow, climbing riff that eventually extends into an outlandish jam. It's all held down by Josh Hauver's relentlessly addictive bassline, which the band plays against for 3 minutes. Incorporating many shoegaze elements from the band's past, Deerhunter has reached new territory in terms of melodic ecstasy. If that's not enough, Lockett Pundt surprises us all with an astonishingly professional voice. Deerhunter hasn't sounded so impressive until now.

New Deerhunter Single "Revival" (plus unused demos and a B side)

Our first preview of Halcyon Digest has finally been released by Deerhunter free of charge! Go to this website (password is tapereel), and click on the reel-to-reel tape player. This will open the link to the single for "Revival", which also includes the B side "Primitive 3D".

Other links on the page bring you to demos that are now being released for the first time (none of these will appear on the forthcoming album, but you can download them for free for the hell of it). The other songs are "Radio Play", "Scruffy Scruff", and "Daybeams".
