I don't mean to be a "first albums only" elitist or anything of the sort since I didn't even discover these guys til maybe a year and change ago, but truth be told- the demo tracks are my favorites despite Deafheaven's undeniable growth and evolution into a broader sort of awesome. satangutsandchristcorpsepaint
Great soundscapes, semi-cinematic tunes, and tinkly, noodly rhythmically sharp goodness. Aztec Dream is pretty epic, Pal Magnet has the buildup you didn't quite see coming, Bunda Internacionale is endlessly cheerful, and PG Films sounds like the sunny Mario homage I never knew wanted. These guys keep it fresh and original. Audrey Yung
