Deerhunter at Metro

Saturday's Deerhunter show at Metro was not so much the experimental sounds that the band is known for, but more of an overall musical assault on the ears.  The aggressive mix of guitars layered the room for 75 minutes with storming drums and strangely likable front-man Bradford Cox.  Their latest songs are a little more accessible for the common fan which might explain why my three friends that watched along with me also loved the show while having little or no experience with the band. 

Songs from Microcastle mix many different styles from 60's psych to 00's strangeness, stopping in between for fiery instrumental blasts and clear vocals that could barely be heard above the expansive sounds that included fragmented dance rhythms.
