At some point in a band's career you start thinking, Wow these guys really grew up. It's usually based on nothing more than just "deciding" that INSERT BAND NAME HERE is now a grown up band whose sound is on their way to either total boredom, or Sonic Youth level heights of perpetual awesome experimentation. The brand-new Halcyon Digest is the one that inexplicably made us think that about Deerhunter. Maybe it's the way that Bradford and co. have calmed down and condensed guitar fury, fuzz and skronk into palatable pop moments. Or maybe we've all just chilled out a bit together. Judge for yourself over at NPR.
