REVIEW

A compilation of early tracks from the mysterious masked NY-based shoegaze artist deer death.

Some tracks have been remastered, but the raw, noisy charm of the originals remains the real appeal—so don’t sweat the sound quality too much.

It’s simply a joy to have these scattered releases gathered in one place. Even more rewarding is seeing that the artist’s style has remained completely consistent from the start.

A true purveyor of melancholy, we hope deer death continues to thrive for years to come. With new singles dropping roughly once a week, it wouldn’t be surprising if a full-length album arrives before the year is out.
