Microcastle / Weird Era Cont.
by Deerhunter
Deerhunter's 2008 double salvo, Microcastle / Weird Era Cont., resurrects scarred pop from Cryptograms' art-damaged squall, weaving hypnotic dream-pop haze, krautrock propulsion, and garage-punk crashes into a singular call-to-arms.
Bradford Cox and Lockett Pundt trade bleakly alluring visions of alienation, aging as slow death, and frozen hearts thawing in reverb-drenched catharsis. Fist-pumping "Nothing Ever Happened" charges with bright guitars; "Saved by Old Times" disorients like Velvet Underground fever dreams; bonus cuts like "Focus Group" and "Vox Humana" sparkle with skewed immediacy. A precipice masterpiece, it cements the Atlanta noise poets as indie rock's anxious innovators.
