Deerhunter - Deerhunter On Platts Eyott Island
Review by Theresa E. Nyberg
Deerhunter's latest album, On Platts Eyott Island, is a haunting and mesmerizing journey that showcases the band's unique blend of shoegaze, indie rock, and dream pop. The album's eight tracks are a hypnotic mix of swirling guitars, ethereal vocals, and atmospheric soundscapes that create a sense of otherworldliness and introspection.
From the opening track "Death in Midsummer," the album sets the tone with its lush and dreamy instrumentation, which is complemented by lead singer Bradford Cox's haunting vocals. The standout track "No One's Sleeping" is a slow-burning masterpiece that builds to a cathartic crescendo, while "Element" is a shimmering, almost psychedelic ode to nature.
Throughout the album, Deerhunter explores themes of isolation, self-discovery, and the search for meaning in a chaotic world. The lyrics are poetic and evocative, offering glimpses into the inner workings of the human psyche.

Notes
- From 4AD:
- The session was recorded during the evening of the 15th of September at Studio Plateaux, a DIY studio nestled on the Platts Eyott island- a nature reserve with the western end designated as Greed Belt- on the Thames, London.
- The idea behind the session was in memory of John Peel and his famous Radio 1 sessions. The studio equipment is a rare collection of vintage Ribbon microphones, pre amps, tape machines and effects, all researched over many years and sourced from around the world.
- Strictly limited to 200 cassettes, 100 orange given out at the Halloween Show in 2008, and another hundred in pink.
