#1983 Deerhunter - Fading Frontier

Outside of a couple of brilliant songs on Microcastle (7 years ago!) I cannot figure out what the scene has ever seen in Deerhunter. Pretty, sure, but Fading Frontier's sleepy songs are completely forgettable, swift-fading dreams at best. And even the upbeat moments sound like Smashing Pumpkins' late-era gutless pop stabs.

I've listened to this damn thing 3 times now and still can't call up a note of it. Maybe that's the appeal, a soporific for the terminally bored 2.5/5
