Deerhunter台灣要發雙碟！

好威！Deerhunter最新專輯《Microcastle》不斷換封面（大概也換了四次吧？），最後定案版竟然是全橘色、有骷髏眼的臉部特寫，驚死人。此回映象更將特別發行《Microcastle》的雙碟版！這組以2006年《Cryptograms》獲得傳媒一致好評、入主Pitchfork、Village Voice等頂尖傳媒年終榜單的美國獨立搖滾樂隊，類型橫跨Noise Rock、Ambient、Post Punk、Shoegazing等，尤其以罹患罕見疾病馬凡氏症（Marfan Syndrome）瘦巴巴的主唱Bradford Cox為樂隊核心，早先Bradford Cox更曾以Atlas Sound化名，讓夢幻的電氣聲響充斥其中。

Deerhunter乃出自芝加哥名廠Kranky，以實驗音樂著名，本次歐洲部份交由同樣迷幻的4AD發行，台灣部份更將領先日盤，特別發行《Microcastle》的雙碟版，包括《Microcastle》的12首歌，再加上《Weird Era Cont.》的13首歌，無敵夢幻的啦！

超級難選的2008年終榜因此又多了一名競爭對手，包括Drowned in Sound給了9/10、Spin雜誌★★★★四顆星、MusicOMH.com★★★★☆四顆半星等全面好評，還在懷疑它好不好聽嗎？請看：

Deerhunter - Nothing Ever Happened (首波主打)

Deerhunter - Agoraphobia

Deerhunter - Little Kids

Drowned In Sound (9/10)
“Where the split-personality of Cryptograms hinted as much, a cohesive effort on Microcastle delivers the goods in its entirety. In what amounts to a peek behind the curtain of reverb enveloping much of Deerhunter’s compositions thus far, the album justifies our expectations for greatness. It is a precarious algorithm of pedal guitars, drums, and bedroom experimentation few bands manage to attain.”

Venus 4/5
“The astounding Microcastle is the sound of abject clarity that comes when the storm clouds pass – it’s an ascetically laser-focused rock record.”

Spin 4/5
“Deerhunter wear their influences proudly but avoid straight pastiche, creating a distinct hybrid of androgynous shoegazer buzz driving Krautrock pulse, serene drones, and low-key indie pop that sounds both ingratiatingly familiar and slightly alien.”
