From the album Halcyon Digest (2010)
“He Would Have Laughed” by Deerhunter appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2019. It was first released in 2010 on the album Halcyon Digest. Its best result is #435 on the KEXP Listeners' Favorite Songs of All Time. In the combined RockLists rankings it is #6,398 indie & aaa song of all time.
"He Would Have Laughed" closes Halcyon Digest, Deerhunter's fifth album, released in September 2010, and it was made apart from the rest of the record. The band cut most of the album at Chase Park Transduction in Athens, Georgia, working with co-producer Ben H. Allen and engineer David Barbe, but Bradford Cox recorded this one by himself at Notown Sound in Marietta, and he made it as a tribute to Jay Reatard.
Allen still mixed it and shares the production credit with the band, which ties the solo detour back to the rest of the album. It's the last word on a record critics praised across the board, and the first Deerhunter album that 4AD released all over the world.
