Video: Deerhunter - 'Helicopter'

It wasn't until recently that I started to catch on to the musical genius of Bradford Cox. Between Deerhunter and Atlas Sound you'd be hard pressed to find another single guy consistently creating some of the best melodies in indie rock. The new Deerhunter album, Halcyon Digest, is set to come out on 4AD on September 28th and this is the first single from it, 'Helicopter'.

I'll be in Chicago for a weekend in late October and already have tickets to see Blonde Redhead that Friday night. Unfortunately for me, Deerhunter is playing that same night in town and I'm already starting to regret my choice. This song has been on repeat for me for the last two days and each time I listen to it I think more and more about getting tickets to Deerhunter and selling my other ones. I guess if Halcyon Digest is as good as I expect it to be, my decision might end up being made for me.

Here's the video for 'Helicopter':
