Pitchfork’s Larry Fitzmaurice speaks with Deerhunter’s brazen frontman Bradford Cox and provides an behind the scenes perspective on the group’s much talked-about performance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Cox is fascinating, as always.
I don’t understand the purpose of this article. To say that Bradford is annoying? Like really?
Nothing this writer says about babyboi is new. He’s always been incredibly self conscious about the band, but the music is still incredibly honest. He’s a very in his head kind of dude. He’s lived a very unique life. This dude describes him as some hyper obsessive control freak that has 4 dudes held captive in a band with him.
So props to P4K for this substantive character piece. There is no irony whatsoever in that website calling something annoying.
none at all.

Things I Learned at Coachella 2013
- I care about seeing R.Kelly way more than I can ever care about seeing Daft Punk. I love both, but Im a hood kid. It is what it is. (note: I went weekend 2 so I didn’t see R. Kelly)
- FUCK the haters Phoenix is one of the best bands in the game. They deserve that headlining spot and those enormous crowds
- NICK CAVE IS A MOTHAFUCKING GOD
- Danny Brown is one of the best live rap acts I’ve ever seen.
- I will never ever tire of that 12 minute live version of Thee Oh Sees’ “Block of Ice.”
- Ian Svenonius. I have no shame in saying you’re one of my life heroes. YOU’RE DA BEST PSYCHIC SOVIET (note: read this in a rhyme pattern)
- Being pretty is achievable (James Blake, Kurt Vile, Postal Service, et al) but being pretty and being able to make people want to dance and swoon (Grizzly Bear and Beach House) requires another level of musical perception.
- At a show I want bands to control the experience they want to give, but at a festival I want the hits. So thanks Blur, Modest Mouse and Franz Ferdinand for knowing that we show up to daaance.
- Not all reunions yield good results. Blatant cash grabs can sometimes deter a band from trying at all (*cough* Stone Roses *cough*)
- I lost 10 IQ points this weekend. Never again can I do the 20th of this month at Coachella.
Thanks to this session they now perform it live. They played it when I saw them.
GO MAC!!
Monomania has a dirtier, wirier, less fussed-over feel than the band has cultivated in recent years. The band’s fifth album captures Bradford Cox’s gift for self-laceration and unpredictability, but it moves in a less studio-bound direction, closer to the raw and unhinged spirit of his live shows.
IT’S HERE!! IT’S HERE!! IT’S FINALLY HERE!!
Another bassist of my generation lost.
I’ll be blunt, even though I’ve supported, I really haven’t been very exited about any releases the band has had since Chi got hurt back in 2008. And like I’ve said before, if you don’t think it makes a difference that he’s not in Deftones anymore, just listen to:
Lotion, Around The Fur, Hexagram, When Boys Telephone Girls, Korea, Passenger, Change, Needles And Pins, Lhabia, Dai The Flu, Bored, 7 Words, Digital Bath, Knife Prty, Street Carp…. just a few that I particularly felt he really murdered.
First Paul Gray, then Mitch Lucker, now this. Chi was a fucking animal on the bass with soooooooooo much rhythm. He will be missed.
RIP Chi Cheng.
