This week sees the release of Deerhunter's fifth album 'Monomania'.
A new line-up (with additions of bassist Josh Mckay and guitarist Frankie Broyles) reconvened in January 2013 at Rare Book Studio in Brooklyn, New York. Produced by Nicholas Vernhes and Bradford Cox, Monomania finds the group recalling its scrappy punk aesthetic; a perfect nocturnal garage rock album full of the layered and hazy vintage guitar sounds that define them.
"They've pulled off something admirable in making an illogical left turn feel like the logical next step where one didn't exist" - Pitchfork BNM (8.3/10)
"Monomania's artfully created mix of casualness and abrasiveness recalls the spirit of that archetypal 1990s monomaniac, the alt-rock slacker" - FT (4/5)
"It all sounds effortless... the results are propulsive and ecstatic." - The Observer (5/5)
"Thoroughly fresh and weirdly magnetic from start to finish." - MOJO (4/5)
"One of the great American rock 'n' roll bands" - NME (8/10)
"A delicious vision of pop." - Q (4/5)
