Deerhunter - Fluorescent Grey

(4.4/5.0)
Yo this song creeps me out, and so does the band. The singer is like 65 pounds and seven feet tall, he isn't even on herione or anything, but you wouldn't deny it after listening to his band's new EP. This song, same name as the EP, is fucking scary. It starts with this pensive piano loop, adds some bass drum, and then that 7 foot tall guy...Jesus these lyrics are fucking weird. I wouldn't be suprised if people would be turned off by them, i mean he is talking about a kid he knew in high school (a dude, yeah i know, homosexual references omg!) and about how he dreams alot about the kids body, a body that will, in his words "will be fluorescent grey". So the band is obsessed with Sex and Death, pretty cool. The song is aight, ?acoustic? guitars scurry over the piano loop, and then they talk about the kid being a god, oh FUCK, Then it hits 2:06: An insane psychedelic MBV-ish drone-ish something-ish things just ejaculates all over the track and it sounds oh so pretty. The vocals do that whole shoegazer thing, the drums play the same simple rhythm and it just rocks out for the rest of the track until it cools back down into the piano loop at about 4:15. Alright, so we have a song about kid's body decaying, and the singer says patiently alot, and there is that amazing psych break down that kind of sounds like what heaven should feel like. Anyway, this song is ill and i can't wait to see these dudes in NYC, they better play this song, and when that break down hits im prolly gonna be crying peacefully or banging my head against an amp. Whatever, Deerhunter have mad potential to be the next MBV/Sonic Youth/...fuck it they could be great.
