10 Years Ago Today- Deerhunter Released Brilliant ‘Halycon Digest’ LP (Listen to “Revival”

10 years ago today (9/28/10), Deerhunter released their fifth and most well-received album Halycon Digest. 

Ubiquitous Deerhuunter frontman Bradford Cox described the album as “…always being fascinated with the ephemera of 70’s – 80’s artrock in record stores like Wuxtry in Athens where I hung out as a kid or Wax ‘N Facts in Atlanta. You’d see a photocopied faded B-52’s flyer next to a poster for Lou Reed or XTC. It was like an artpunk scrapbook on those walls. It made my head spin. Who are these people? Who are the fucking Residents with these weird-ass eyeball faces?”

So it goes, although Halycon Digest is far from an immediate album, this one is well worth the ten listens it might take to “get.” Check out the amorously creative “Revival” off Halycon Digest..
