Deerhunter plug microphones into a bunch of guitar pedals to announce Halcyon Digest in most "emotional" manner possible

Just when you thought your friends weren’t looking and it was safe to come-down off of this hypnogogia trip that you’ve been on for the past 18 months or so (with all these weird artistic notions of “photocopies of photocopies” and whatnot that you don’t really understand)… you’ve gotta think again. The ambient-punk fever-dream that is Deerhunter is back, baby, and they’re bringing their fourth LP with them. Pop another Tylenol 3, my friend. The forecast is looking haaaaazzzzzaaay!

This new LP, entitled Halcyon Digest, is due September 28 via good old 4AD. And, like the good chopped-and-screwed punk ethicists that they are, frontman Bradford Cox and his cronies are promoting it by encouraging fans to download and print out a promotional poster from their new website and stick it up somewhere gnarly around town. Street-teamers who take a picture of their promo effort and email it to flyers@halcyondigest.com will receive an email link to download the album’s as-of-yet unannounced lead single, as well as a non-album bonus cut. Sounds like fair compensation for services rendered, eh?

Well, what are you waiting for, dude? You heard Bradford Cox: get out there and waste some paper in the name of rock and roll!
