I still like them. I'm afraid they're going to turn into Animal Collective ripoffs with the way that Bradford is so into them. Maybe they weren't "on" that night because the format was changed up (the round robin thing). I didn't feel like going to their show in NY because it was going to be swamped. Got a low tolerance for assholes and I hope to never endure No Age again. The live vids I've seen of Deerhunter live have been disappointing, though. Bradford seems like a mopey Stephen Malkmus.
The new EP and the Fluorescent Grey EP are probably the best things they've done. They're most consistent when things are kept short and sweet.
