Very nice- thanks for posting. I haven't listened to much of Deerhunter but I was thoroughly addicted to Let the Blind Lead Those.. for a while last year.

Turn It UP, Faggot!
I like Bradford.

Saw Atlas Sound a few weeks ago, really great. Logos is a top 10 of the year, for sure.

I was just listening to Unwound's Leaves Turn Inside You from 2001 last week thinking how much Deerhunter learned from them.

I'm at work, so can't listen - what sort of music is it?

Ah, never mind - " an aggressive mix of industrial-grind guitars and fractured dance rhythms that often recalls earlier Georgia art punks like the Method Actors and Pylon".

A Deerhunter also: Bradford's been posting very nice Micromixes for a while now.

I imagine this is best left for fans rather than an entry point for newcomers, but "industrial-grind guitars" couldn't be further from the truth. Think psych-shoegaze instead.

Couldn't I just get this through demonoid?

I keed!

I'm into Bradford's "duet" with Laetita Sadier right now: "Quick Canal"

The dude is prolific to say the least.

Where is a good place for a newcomer to start?

probably Microcastle, I think it's their most recent

(not to imply that because it is the most recent it's a good place to start. those were two different thoughts awkwardly bonded.)
