He Would Have Laughed
I said I’d write a post about the new Deerhunter album ‘Halcyon Digest’ so here it is. Now a contender for album of the year (along with Best Coast, LCD Soundsystem and Gorillaz) I’ve played the absolute shit out of it since I’ve been back my holidays. Just an absolute stunner. A few exquisite tracks (“Revival”, “Helicopter”, “Coronado”) and an instantly forgettable one (“Sailing”), yet the rest are excellent. Indeed, “Revival” and “Helicopter” will probably be in my Best Of 2010 song list also. “Helicopter” sounds like awaking from a dream underwater. Star Slinger was recently featured on P4K’s ‘Rising’ section and he turns in a lovely little remix here.
The photo? Taken at Graceland, in Elvis’ 13.8 acre backyard. I thought the swing set looked kinda sad.
