Fading Frontier - Deerhunter

For Fading Frontier, the latest studio album by Deerhunter, production duties were shared by the band and Ben H. Allen III, continuing a collaboration that began with 2010’s Halcyon Digest.

Following the death-rattle garage catharsis of Monomania, the group have shifted towards something strikingly balanced, focused on melody and texture. The songs are brighter, both in content and in the album's production.

Fading Frontier is definitely the most complex (while remaining accessible) and quite possibly the most accomplished album of the band to date, with guest appearances by members of Broadcast and Stereolab, as well as Zumi Rosow on Snakeskin.

Fading Frontier shows that a decade in, Deerhunter has lost none of its intensity. As the group matures, so they have grown into the most consistent purveyors of art-rock of their generation.
