Deerhunter News
If you haven’t already heard, Deerhunter are going to be on hiatus for an undisclosed amount of time. This is all according to a post by Bradford Cox on their blog. I’ll repost the letter below for you:
Goodbye 21st Century
So we have one show left tomorrow night in Leipzig, Germany. Then we drive through the night to Prague where we fly home from early in the morning. This tour has been really insane. We met a lot of amazing people and finally got to play the UK, making our debut at the forum even. We are totally grateful for the opportunity to play everywhere we did. When we started this band years ago we never imagined playing outside of Atlanta, so this has all been like a hallucination. We are all exhausted now and ready to be home. I would like to announce that the show we are playing at Primavera in Barcelona (I hope to god i spelled that right) will be our last for quite some time. It will also be the last time we are ever playing the Cryptograms set we have been playing for the last two years. After that the band are going on hiatus. We all need some time to organize our lives. Thanks to everyone who has helped us out. This has been a crazy year that I will always remember.
Love,
Bradford
P.S. we will still post stuff on here but probably not just as regularly and you can pretty much rest assured it will be solo stuff and not deerhunter, so if you are one of those people who are like, “why doesn’t bradford start his own blog”, delete your bookmark. deerhunter is sleeping now.
P.P.S. I miss my mom and dad making me go to church when i was a kid.
P.P.P.S. everyone should absolutley check out adam and greg’s amazing ambient new age blog.

The guys just had a set posted on Daytrotter.com mostly full of songs that I am not familiar with except for Heatherwood off of the Flourescent Grey EP and Dr. Glass from Cryptograms. If you aren’t already familiar with Daytrotter, all of the tracks are available for free download right off that page.
Also… Below is some video coverage that Bradford did for MTV while at CMJ Music Marathon last month in NYC:
