Deerhunter: Cryptograms

Marc Hogan — Tue, 30 Jan 2007 10:00:00 GMT

This Atlanta five-piece's shimmering Kranky debut is alternately murky and ethereal, drawing equal influence from classic shoegaze, early Factory Records LPs, and the enigmatic ambient recordings with which it shares a label. Sequenced into two distinct halves-- the first an intensely gorgeous, blissed-out paean to Sonic Youth guitar squall, Spacemen 3's blissful hymns, and Harold Budd's collaborations with Brian Eno, the second a lush exploration of focused, crystalline dream-pop-- Cryptograms shifts between impressionistic, reverb-saturated reverie and psych-heavy pop gems.

Column: Puritan Blister #23

William Bowers — Fri, 02 Feb 2007 10:00:00 GMT
