News Delicious, but gamey: Deerhunter at the Earl

DEERHUNTER AT THE EARL ON SATURDAY: Blue man sings the whites.
Saturday’s sold-out show at the Earl in East Atlanta featured not just one, but two rock-snob favorites.
Brooklyn’s the Fiery Furnaces headlined. Led by brother-and-sister duo Matthew and Eleanor Friedberger, the group makes “experimental†pop music, by which I mean music that is both grating and unpopular. I like it though.
Local favorites Deerhunter managed to get the writers at Pitchfork to stop fellating them long enough to open the show. Live, the band forgoes the dreaminess and textures of its records, swapping for an amps-to-11 wall of sound. I like it, too. But my ears are still ringing.
