Deerhunter played the La Route Du Rock a little over a week ago. While there — there being St. Malo on Brittany’s Emerald Cost, France — La Blogotheque recorded the Atlanta group smoking-up the festival stage. Making the most of the trek, La Blog also captured Deerhunter frontman Bradford Cox offering up a stripped-down “Kid Climax,” a song from the forthcoming Logos. The studio recording includes fuzzed-up vocals, electro percussion, well-timed snaps, a drone swell, and various squiggles, etc., in addition to the guitar and vocals. For now, though, here’s this. Note: The four-pronged footage ties together Marissa Nadler and Delano Orchestra with Deerhunter and the Atlas Sound. If you’re in a rush, you can click through at the bottom of the player — Deerhunter’s part three, Cox digging into “Kid Climax” by his lonesome is part four. Because he’s kid climax.
Logos is out 10/20 via Kranky.

Boring. He does not have the ability to produce good music by using only an acoustic guitar. Very few people can do that.
The song sounds better with the full band getup, but still i think the song speaks for itself. There is a great recording of this track from when he played The Earl in Atlanta a month ago. I love the sort of jazzy crawl of the verses.
The song sounds like nothing acoustically, but the live version… holy shite. I can’t wait to hear the studio version of it.
much much much prefer the Marissa Nadler, though I do love Atlas Sound’s records.
