Splitting the difference between Sonic Youth and The Beach Boys, indie rockers Deerhunter have combined experimental noise and memorable pop melodies to stunning effect since their formation in 2001. The Atlanta band earned an early reputation for droning feedback on their '05 debut LP, but these album tracks show they've always had hidden catchy tunes in their most chaotic songs. Incorporating everything from doo-wop to Krautrock, their sound has been driven by the big, beating heart of Bradford Cox's lyrics.
