Soft drones push through the speakers as Deerhunter’s Microcastle spins its' vibrations out. The atmospheric sounds swift through the air in the form of spacey vocals; sounding off heavily with reverb and delay, creating a beautiful shoegaze melody. The albums’ most note worthy songs, “Agoraphobia” and “Never Stops,” are minimal yet driving as they play in succesion. The songs that follow hinder in to whispered vocals that seemingly slow down time as ambient instruments create simple tones that are eerily euphoric. The ninth track on Microcastle is another enterprising track with a weighty bass line that ends with a nearly three minute abstract jam out. This album is for those who appreciate stone-e shoegaze with psychedelic undertones; good music to get high or space out in a dream to.
Recommended listening: Atlas Sound, Grizzly Bear, Animal Collective
