22. Deerhunter - Microcastle (2008)
A bleak, paranoid album that is one of the most rock & roll projects made in this wild ten years that we call a decade. Highs, lows, lots of restraint, rock and roll that doesn't brag a lot. Here, look at the lyrics as the album starts with 'Agoraphobia:'
"Come for me
You come for me
Come for me
Comfort me
Come for me
Cover me
Come for me
Comfort me"
You come for me
Come for me
Comfort me
Come for me
Cover me
Come for me
Comfort me"
This brings inevitable rumours about heroin and coming back from the brink, along with comparisons with My Bloody Valentine. But this is far from shoegaze. It's the sound of a band who should soundtrack the wildest of dreams; a lucid tapestry.
