octet

if you know me or have even looked at my last fm (last.fm/user/plat3g), you might already recognize that i'm a pretty big fan of Deerhunter. i mean there's really not much to say, only that i love them with all my heart and that they should keep doing music forever. though, it seems that bradford cox (lead singer and guitarist) is a bit self-destructive... it would be a shame for him to lose his life to something like alcohol or drugs. anywho, their song Octet has been kind of playing in my head all day during work. a brash instrumental song that combines ambient, progessive, minimalism and shoegaze... if godspeed you! black emperor were to make a super group with Sonic Youth, this song might be a deep cut on the album. but since that won't ever happen, it'll just resort to being a deepcut on their first major debut Cryptograms.




well here's the song for your hearing pleasure. it's a crafty little gem that spans 7 minutes... but it's a growing process and is the best representation of how they come with such good fucking music-- a physical sonic manifestation.
