This album is far closer to Pavement compared to his previous releases.

And with Deerhunter....you need to be in the mood for it..I am trying to come up with words to explain it and I can't...I suppose that is a good way to sum up the record..It is like nothing else...a mixture of Black Mountain and Mojave 3 ??...

Enjoy !
