DEERHUNTER
*HALCYON DIGEST - ALBUM TOUR*

-----------------------------------------------------

Deerhunter: Halcyon Digest

“Their best album yet.” Uncut ****

“Fuzzed-out beauty.” MOJO ****

Halcyon Digest, the fourth studio album from Atlanta’s Deerhunter
will be released worldwide via 4AD on September 27th 2010.

The quartet of Bradford Cox, Lockett Pundt, Joshua Fauver and Moses Archuleta have established themselves as one of the most innovative and important bands to emerge from the US in recent years and
Halcyon Digest is sure to bolster this newfound status of theirs.

Remaining in their native Georgia to piece together their second full-length record for 4AD, Halcyon Digest took just a few weeks to complete in June 2010. The recording sessions took place at Chase Park Transduction in Athens with Ben H. Allen helping to co-produce the album. Final track, ‘He Would Have Laughed’, was recorded separately by Bradford Cox at
NOTOWN SOUND in Marietta and is dedicated to musician Jay Reatard who sadly passed away earlier this year; the band collaborated with the Memphis musician in 2008 to release a split 7”
where they covered each other’s songs.

To announce the release, the band fully embraced the DIY mindset of their New Wave heroes from the 70’s and 80’s with a Cox-designed,
cut-and-paste Xeroxed flyer. Fans who submitted photos of their strategically-placed posters to http://www.halcyondigest.com were allowed early access to both details of the new album and to MP3s for the
forthcoming single ‘Revival’ and its b-side, ‘Primitive 3D’.

Deerhunter are renowned for their prolificacy; in the two years since signing to 4AD, the group has released a double album (Microcastle and Weird Era Cont.) and a five-track EP (Rainwater Cassette Exchange) as well as numerous unofficial tracks that appear on a regular basis – albeit only for a short duration – on the band’s blog http://deerhuntertheband.blogspot.com
Furthermore, the band’s own solo projects (Bradford’s Atlas Sound moniker and Lockett's Lotus Plaza) have released albums at a similar rate.
With every release, they widen their sphere of influence
and critically, Deerhunter continue to impress.
