So I have a confession.
I have tickets to the Laneway Festival. I am probably a bit of an indie wanker and will see Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti as well as Yeasayer. But one band I am not slightly guilty of loving is Deerhunter. Their new album, Halcyon Digest is amazing! Swoon worthy even. I have not been able to stop listening to this since i got it last week. A Mix of Shoegazer and Rock n Roll this album is bliss!
From Revival, to Memory Boy, to stand out Desire Lines ( the guitar solo on this track is just beyond orgasmic swoon, yes i used orgasmic), to the sax infused Coronado ( lead singer Bradford Cox admitted that he listened to the Rolling Stones Exile on Main St and wanted a sax to replicate that masterpiece), Halcyon Digest is one brilliant album. Tied for first in my albums of the year with the Walkmen's Lisbon.
