Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest

Deerhunter have never really registered, but I bought Halcyon Digest after hearing part of it in a record store; no wonder it caught my ear, because it has bits and pieces of a lot of my favourite things, from Cocteau Twins chime to Wrens-esque jangle and post-Arcade Fire modern orchestral indie-rock. Anyway, it's all good, very good actually, the two standouts being the epic "Desire Lines" and "Helicopter", both absolute killers.
