You can’t hide anything on the internet. Bradford Cox should know this better than anybody. Deerhunter shared their single with their street team via this link (pass: tapereel) and now, it’s all over the net. Lead track ‘Revival’ has a ’60s floppy rhythm to it and… wait a minute, it kinda reminds me of Skeleton Jones. No surprise really.
The page also has some demos, this is my favourite – it’s an ambient jam.

The other two tracks – ‘Scruffy Scruff’ is 48 seconds long and ‘Radio Play’ is 90 seconds of nice floaty noise. The album Halcyon Digest is released on or around September 28th on 4AD.
