Deerhunter - Wash Off
Final track from “Fluorescent Grey EP” (2007)
In 2005, Bradford Cox asked Lockett Pundt, his best friend from high school, to join his band, which was called Deerhunter. Deerhunter had put out a record of angular, nervous punk earlier that year, purportedly self-titled but with the words Turn It Up Faggot on the spine, as a four-piece, with Cox singing and backing up Colin Mee on guitar, Josh Fauver on bass, and Moses Archuleta on drums. Pundt got on board, layering huge reverb washes of nostalgic guitar haze over the rest of the band’s rhythmic punk drive so Cox could experiment with ghostly vocal loops, and Deerhunter came into its own fully actualized potential as the Southern Gothic rock band.
