bargain... 19 Jun 2009

By T. LYON

Format:Audio CD

effectvely youre getting 2 CD's for the price of one, and although Wierd Era isnt as immediate, after a few listens, you'll be sucked in.. VHS Dream and Backspace Century imo are 2 of the best songs out of the whole lot and fully represent Deerhunter's fuzzed out pop psych.

Microcastles has more of the Pixies/Pavement feel to it in songs like 'Never Stops' and 'Nothing Ever Happens' and sounds great on first listen, the melodies stick in your head like a blissful dream, and having bought this 2 months ago, i still play both CD's regularly, cant recommend it enough

Dreamy bliss pop shoegaze heaven 8 Dec 2008

By Arkady Hughes

Format:Audio CD

Think MBV / J&MC / Spacemen 3 crossed with Dandy Warhols Come Down or Sonic youth in blisspop mode. Think Belle & sebastian's Lazy line Painter Jane Crossed with Pixies dolittle era and add some pavement-esque angles and you have your favourite new band, an antidote to the bland conveyer belt nice hair 1978 wannabe indie stuff cluttering up the airwaves...
Agoraphobia, Never Stops and Little Kids are euphoric beauty...Nothing ever happened a Can / stereolab workout with Breeders pop sensibility...
Gorgeous.

Music That Gets Under Your Skin 3 Dec 2009

By Pj Beirne

Format:Audio CD

Excellent cd which I bought after some of the music magazines raved about the group. The main man is also responsible for Atlas Sound also critically acclaimed but I have not got around to exploring them. I have had this in my car for months now and it constantly engages me. It is most definately not some sonic distortion which some groups class as art but has commercial appeal as well. Good value album and not the norm.

Don't judge this by it's cover...

When did 4AD suddenly get its act together? It appeared to be a label living on its (admittedly very fine) history, bereft of new talent, endlessly re-issuing the same... Read more
