Deafheaven - Sunbather (1st US Press) LP

DEAFHEAVEN (California, USA) – Sunbather (2013) 1st US Pressing, Record 1 on Red vinyl + Record 2 on Gold gatefold vinyl - limited to 4,000 copies. Includes full colour, folded 12" x 24" insert complete with lyrics.  Deafheaven's second album is an epic mix of intense Black Metal and chiming Post-Rock, the sort of sound that inspires the wide-screen feelings people look for in Sigur Rós, Mogwai, or Godspeed You! Black Emperor.  Sunbather's a seven-song collection that fuses into a massive 60-minute piece. The sequencing, moving from brightness to darkness and back, is brilliant. Many fans believe this to be the pinnacle height for the band, yet to be topped thus far in their decade-long career.  **originally published on pitchfork.com**  Deathwish ‎– DW146
