When you hear that Deerhunter’s Lockett Pundt has a new album coming out under the Lotus Plaza banner, the hope is that the record reaches some of the heights that the guitarist/singer has achieved with Deerhunter. Under that lens, “Strangers” is smashingly successful, with a driving drum beat, memorable melody, and enough left-of-the-center weirdness to keep the listener’s mind from wandering. The album, Spooky Action At A Distance, will be out on April 2nd via Kranky. Download “Strangers” below.
