Deerhunter is always expanding their sound to include new styles, concepts and collaborations, and this expansion continues on their latest song, "Curve." This instrumental track is released as part of a forthcoming benefit compilation "to support Japan and its ongoing efforts to heal post-tsunami." "Curve" is a departure from the typically guitar driven music of Deerhunter. The ambient rhythm is calm without being boring, punctuated by Eno-derived bell and feedback noises. Just when the song becomes hypnotic, a slow and swelling beat comes in to bring the song to an abrupt stop.
We Are The Works In Progress is put together by
Blonde Redhead, and will be the debut release of the band's label Asa Wa Kuru. The fourteen song compilation features music from Interpol, Four Tet, Liars among others. The compilation is due out on 2/7, but you can pre-order the digital/vinyl now
