Deerhunter’s ‘Monomania’ due out May 7
New album is a tangled affair of noise, darkly afflicted blues, and window-rattling art pop - Deerhunter’s most incendiary album yet
- Robert Semmer
It’s official, Deerhunter’s fifth proper album will be called Monomania.
It’s a tangled affair of noise, darkly afflicted blues, and window-rattling art pop that’s rich with texture - Deerhunter’s most incendiary album yet. Monomania’s arrival also brings with it a lineup change: Bass player Josh Fauver is absent, and in his stead both ex-Balkans singer/guitarist Frankie Broyles (electric/acoustic/steel guitar), and Josh McKay of Macha/Abandon the Earth Mission (electric bass, Wurlitzer, transistor organ) have been added.

The album was recorded at Rare Book Room Studio in Brooklyn by Nicolas Vernhes and Bradford Cox, and is due out via 4AD on Tuesday, May 7.
