Fading Frontier, Deerhunter's seventh studio album, came out on 4AD on October 16, 2015, and after the scuzz and menace of Monomania it sounds like the Atlanta band throwing open the windows. Bradford Cox wrote the songs while recovering from being struck by a vehicle as he walked his dog near his home in Grant Park, and the record carries a bruised, blinking-in-the-daylight glow.
Ben H. Allen, who had worked with them on Halcyon Digest, produced alongside the band, and the sound leans toward dream pop with an art-rock itch. Cox's voice floats over Lockett Pundt's shimmering guitar and Moses Archuleta's unfussy drums, while bassist Josh McKay keeps things rolling. "Snakeskin", "Breaker" and "Living My Life" went out as singles ahead of it, and "Breaker" is about as warm and open-hearted as this band has ever sounded.
