Although I was totally entranced by their performance, I could see that a lot of the people around me were not. But this isn't a critique of them - indeed, a part of me understands why they were disgruntled. Deerhunter, like Atlas Sound, is not the kind of music to thrash around to (like a good deal of NIN's outstanding catalog). My first listen to Logos was done with my body horizontal on a couch with a good pair of headphones. This, like so much of the music I love, is the best way to experience this album.I've read in one place or another that Brandon Cox (the brainchild of Atlas Sound) is a huge fan of doo-wop music, and it shows on some of the album's best tracks.

Even the first listen reveals its flawless nature. Highlights: Walkabout, featuring Panda Bear of Animal Collective fame, starts out with a softly cavorting intro that leads into the most poppy music on the album. Shelia is the standout song, easily engaging the listener's penchant for unique structure, massaging his dream-pop fetish while still feeding his hunger for straight up hard indie rocking.

While his previous effort was a lucid dream splayed out on a frozen lake - this piece runs the gammit of 50's doo-wop run through a crystalized teen dream. Love it. |
