Synopsis

Product Description
Caution: Artwork will be considered OBSCENE by many individuals. Atlanta?s deer hunter unleash upon the world their debut full length. ?turn it up faggot? features nine tracks of deer hunter?s catchy and infectious punk rock noise which features a total dance edge which is not cliché. Utilizing such influences as early 80?s sonic youth, chrome, pylon, the fall and others, deer hunter creates a sound which is not derivative, and is in fact unique to deer hunter. Shake that booty. Deer hunter is the brainchild of Bradford Cox and Moses Archuleta. Bradford and Moses started deer hunter in 2003 and deer hunter has undergone numerous line up changes. Due to shifting line up changes and uncertainty about what musical direction to undertake, deer hunter shows during this time period were very interesting. One never knew quite what to expect with each show being completely different from the previous show. Sometimes one was presented with music that totally pointed at genius, other times one was presented with pure crap. But that is what made deer hunter very interesting. Now that sense of direction is definitely present and deer hunter has put everything together and now are unleashing their madness upon the world. The band for this recording consisted of Bradford Cox, Moses Archuleta, Josh Fauver and Colin Mee. A new member has since been added. For those who are worried about the political correctness of the title of the album, it is called ?turn it up faggot? because that is what has been yelled at Deer Hunter at numerous gigs over the course of their past 1.5 year existence. It?s a tongue in cheek sarcastic response to such stupidity.

ATL knows how to rock.

"Since I got this album back in fall of 2005, it has become one of my favorite albums. When you first listen, Deerhunter sounds like a much dirtier chaotic version Clinic with a really heavy no wave influence. Deerhunter's songs on this album are very deconstructed. Each song feels like it is just barely containing the energy that is trying to push the song apart into noise. They do a great job of walking the line between staying melodic and falling apart into fractured rhythms and noise. My personal favorites are "N. Animals", "Tech School", and "Basement.""
