Deerhunter is a band that mixes indie rock with indie-pop, led by singer and guitarist Bernard Cox. Back when they first started in the mid '00s, their music had a pronounced psychedelic rock angle and an experimental streak, which they still retain to some extent these days in the form of ambient sounds. Their songs are not highly melodic but contain chock full of retro hooks that reach back to bands like the Kinks and Roxy Music from the '60s and '70s, though this is mostly in vibe than explicit style. Cox has the ability to put together pop songs in well thought out, imaginative packaging and keep it interesting and different. They are one of those reliable bands that play to their strength and continue to put out work with consistent quality.
