I think the band I've been most obsessed with this year is Deerhunter. Both the album and EP on Kranky are stunning. The single is by far the best single I've heard this year so I'm was pretty excited by this debut CD that's come in on Stickfigure Records. It's a 9 track enhanced CD of early material which showcases the rawer end of their sound. It doesn't have any of the ambience or shoegazey ness of the aforementioned releases but you can hear hints of the experimentation that is trademark to their sound. Especially with the bass rhythms and guitar sound where you can hear it's them all over. It's not as strong as what I've heard already by 'em but I'm gonna persevere with it cos they're amazing!' Turn It Up Faggot' is CD only!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
