So Friday evening, Bradford’s other project Deerhunter regrouped at the central focus of my old stomping/haunting/debauching grounds, the Marietta square (most famous for being memorialized by the Lil’ Jon lyrics “Marietta, ho/that’s where I live, ho”).
While most never, ever, have any reason to pass through Marietta (”scarietta” to those in the know) whilst in Georgia, Deerhunter put their time to good use, recording, amongst other things, a Tom Petty cover.
Right now, though, all we have to show is an acoustic out-take video:
Deerhunter - Winter Never Stops (Acoustic) from Bradford Cox on Vimeo.
Also, apparently inspired, as a closer to the late-arriving-as-in-today Atlas Sound “Things I’ll Miss” EP , the Tamborello-sounding, late-growning “Marietta”
It does my heart good, and fills it with the legends of my youth, to know that a band is seriously utilizing neighborhoods that don’t involve “avenue ____(insert letter here)”. The southern United States is as glorious and grotesque as the north, and as such bless the beautiful noise of Deerhunter for forcing its’ way through.
