Deerhunter – Halcyon Digest (Vinyl)
For all that Deerhunter is often perceived as "Bradford Cox's band", it's a measure of strength in depth that the standout on their fourth album, 'Halcyon Digest', is written by guitarist Lockett Pundt. 'Desire Lines' is built around the tension between a plucked guitar line that falls as the riff below it rises, before unwinding into a soaring and shimmering chorus, and concluding with a near four-minute coda that ploughs on and on and on. It's beautiful and grand, as entrancing a piece of neo-psychedelia as you might wish for.
Cox's contributions are none too shabby, either. 'Revival' is sturdy garage pop, lifted into something lovely by imaginative percussion, and what sounds like a mandolin beneath the fuzz. Deerhunter aren't just revivalists, though: in the main this is timeless music, seemingly made with the conviction that loveliness will always be lovely. (Guardian)

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
