Deerhunter
is an experimental noise rock band from Atlanta, fronted by the compellingly odd singer
Bradford Cox
.
Cox
's vocal style blends vocal experimentation along the lines of
Meredith Monk
or
Yoko Ono
with a more direct and punky howl inspired by
the Fall
's
Mark E. Smith
.
Cox
is also a striking on-stage presence: the exceedingly skinny 6'4" lead singer has Marfan syndrome, a genetic disorder of the connective tissue that gives him abnormally long and spindly limbs. (The late
Joey Ramone
was another well-known frontman with Marfan syndrome.)
Cox
often exaggerates his otherworldly look by performing in Victorian-style party frocks and engaging in
Iggy Pop
-style acts of ritual self-abasement while his bandmates churn out an aggressive mix of industrial-grind guitars and fractured dance rhythms that often recalls earlier Georgia art punks like
the Method Actors
and
Pylon
.
Deerhunter
was formed in 2001 by
Cox
and drummer and keyboardist
Moses Archuleta
; guitarists
Colin Mee
and
Lockett Pundt
and bassist
Josh Fauver
completed the lineup over the following years.
Deerhunter
signed with the local Atlanta indie Stickfigure Records for their 2005 debut: nominally untitled, the album is also known as "Turn It Up, Faggot" (a phrase that doesn't appear on the sleeve), an insult that
Cox
claimed was often thrown at the band during their gigs.
Deerhunter
then signed to the higher-profile indie Kranky (
Godspeed You Black Emperor!
, etc.) for their second album,
Cryptograms
, as well as the EP
Fluorescent Grey
