#6. Deerhunter
Not many indie bands that have been around since the turn of the century have remained as relevant as Deerhunter. With each passing album, the band becomes more and more well-received.
The Atlanta, Georgia rockers have been through many lineup changes, but the two constants have been frontman Bradford Cox and drummer Moses Archuleta.
Over a sixteen year career, the group has released seven studio albums. The most recent, Fading Frontier coming in 2015. Their 2010 album Halycon Digest received the warmest reception, it did well on many of the best albums of 2010 countdowns, as well as considered an album you must hear before you die. Have you checked that album off of your to do list?
The self-described “ambient-punk” band last played the Coachella Festival back in 2010. I caught the last half of their set that day on the Outdoor Stage. I saw them perform at San Diego Street Scene in 2009, I remember that set as being one of my faves of the weekend.
I can’t wait to reconnect with a live Deerhunter set next weekend, their reappearance at Coachella is long overdue.
