"When there is no law, you've done nothing wrong. You can't take too long making up songs."
I loved the earlier abstract Noise-Rock incarnation of this Atlanta band's sound; however, nothing prepared me for Halcyon Digest. Their first album for 4AD seems to represent a move away from the Lo-Fi aesthetic of their earlier work, replacing it, at least to some degree, with a more produced, more sparsely constructed sound. While their experimental tendencies are still evident, these songs work their magic in ways not evident in Deerhunter's earlier work, such as song-craft (particularly lyrics) and in Bradford Cox's vocal contributions. Halcyon Digest is easily one of the best albums of 2010.
