Unreleased Deerhunter Instrumental Tracks

  • Deerhunter recorded some awesome instrumental tracks during the Halcyon Digest sessions, all of which ended up on the cutting room floor...
  • "Daybeams", "Radio Play" and "Scruffy Scruff" could be downloaded from their site along with the "Revival" single.
  • "Rhythm" and "Colorscale" are Japanese bonus tracks for the album. "Daybeams" is especially great and worthy of inclusion on the album
  • But I can appreciate why all instrumental tracks were dropped, to keep the record listening experience smooth, nothing but songs.
  • A good friend of mine I had been trying to get to listen to Deerhunter kept getting tripped up by the instrumental tracks.
  • So I'm definitely in favor of tearing down a wall that's keeping people from enjoying the greatness of Deerhunter. BUT...
  • If you like Halcyon Digest, go find "Daybeams" and give it a listen. And hot damn, the instrumental tracks on Weird Era Cont. are amazing.
