Today's Brew | Deerhunter

P-folk's gave the album by Deerhunter "Cryptograms" a 'best new music' stamp of approval. They like 'em as much as we like 'em. The album drops on Feb. 6th.

Here's what P-folk said about this album:
Atlanta five-piece Deerhunter, who hailed Cooper as a primary influence in a recent Dusted feature, show their guts admirably on this vast, visceral second album. Arranged in chronological sequence from two distinct recording sessions, Cryptograms is alternately murky and ethereal, amorphous and incisive, shot through with Sonic Youth guitar squall, Spacemen 3's blissful hymns, the morbidly introspective drum sounds of early Factory Records productions, and the abstract sonic richness of Harold Budd's collaborations with Brian Eno.
