Deerhunter’s newest album, “Halcyon Digest,” has made a suprisingly dramatic cannonball into the risky waters of the music scene. The album, an intriguing composition of the band’s best-developed sound yet, pulls the listener in and allows for an ethereal experience bound to leave even the most uninterested listener in a curious trance floating between a not-so-realistic reality and pure rock ecstasy. The unique melodies meld together from one track to the next, enabling listeners to be carried along on a journey of musical euphoria without leaving any stragglers behind.
