Experimental rock band Deerhunter have a certain clanginess to their music that is easy to identify. Led by Brandon Cox (whose solo project Atlas Sound is even more fried and delicious), the band’s body of work encompasses many genres—from shoegazey pop to lo-fi garage rock and back again. Over it all is Cox’s distinct drawl, which helped define, for many, what indie rock sounded like in the mid-to-late aughts. Deerhunter’s most recent album (their eighth), 2019’s Why Hasn’t Everything Already Disappeared?, was recorded in rural Texas. The dust is most apparent in the twanginess of certain tracks, which go in unpredictable directions. Joining them on tour is equally cool, bizarrely fun art-rock/alt-R&B group Dirty Projectors. by Jas Keimig
