Breaking: Deerhunter
Who: Deerhunter, a quartet of Atlanta shoegazers that follow indie acclaim and opening for Nine Inch Nails with their most accessible album to date, Microcastle.
Sounds Like: Deerhunter combine My Bloody Valentine’s atmospherics, Sonic Youth’s knack for experimentation and the girl group vibe that channels Phil Spector’s Wall of Sound. Microcastle features everything from billowing dream pop like “Little Kids” to twitchy dance rock on “Nothing Ever Happens.” “I listen to music every waking hour — silence makes me uncomfortable,” says singer Bradford Cox of his wide-ranging influences.
