#3636 Deerhunter - Why Hasn't Everything Already Disappeared?

3.5/5 Deerhunter's long been cloaked in a resigned, approachable misery, shading the darkest sentiments with sunnier sounds, only descending into the depths under cover of darkness.

But here's their first post-2016 album, when the banal inevitability of the end of everything has truly become clear, and their tack suddenly feels natural. On second track No One's Sleeping, a classic Deerhunter chug sweetens the medicine, muttered references to the Village Green and Golden Pond, to things gone, and soon to be gone.
