Deerhunter – Microcastle / Weird Era Cont. (Vinyl)
Like many of their peers, Deerhunter are enamoured of shoegazing. Unlike most, they swim with the genre's morbid undertow, pitching their seductive noisescapes not as a means of transcendence but as an asphyxiating yet beautiful cocoon. "I want only to see four walls made of concrete," sighs guitarist Lockett Pundt on Agoraphobia.
Microcastle's counterintuitive sequencing turns out to be a coup as the band pass through Sonic Youth/Galaxie 500 noise-pop, lose themselves in a wintry ambient blur, and emerge, emboldened, with Nothing Ever Happened's astonishing motorik wig-out, one of the finest songs of the year.
The more experimental bonus disc, Weird Era Cont., offers yet more evidence that this remarkable band are pushing boundaries in all directions. (Guardian)

Info columns
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.
SHIPPING
Flying Nun offers free shipping in Aotearoa New Zealand on orders over $80. We have record stores in both Auckland and Wellington and will ship your record from whichever store is nearest. We aim to pack send your order next business day. Pick ups are also available from both stores.
